Open Lab
Open LaB: Tiny Scientists Now offered at both locations every Saturday!
Open Lab is offered for two age groups: Tiny Scientists (3-5 years old) and scientists 6+ years old. This is a time when Urban STEAM Lab is open to the community for drop-in science. Each week stations are set up around the room for both independent and group-guided learning. During Open Lab hours, the instructor will describe the goals of each projects and ask open-ended questions to help focus our scientists’ thinking around scientific topics.
Registration is now required. At least 3 kiddos must be registered to run the class.
