DRUM UP SOME DNA

Calling all future geneticists! Ever wonder what DNA actually looks like? Now here’s your chance!

First we will go over the basic biology of DNA and why it is so important. Your guests will then get to extract and actually see and touch strawberry DNA! We will lead them step-by-step through the DNA extraction process that will produce a test tube full of strawberry DNA, that they will be able to take home to show family and friends!

RUBBER BAND LAUNCHERS
(Available from May to September, Outdoor Space Required)

Ready, aim, FIRE!

At this party, each kid will get to build their own rubber-band cannon and explore the physics of projectile motion. We’ll experiment with different materials to discover which ones would make the best projectiles and will also prototype different features to see which will help them travel farther. The guests will have the opportunity to use their newfound physics knowledge to design and create their own powerful, amazing cannons that they can take home. If the weather permits, we’ll go outside to test our cannons!

SQUISHY CIRCUITS

What do pickles, play-dough and circuits all have in common? They are definitely a strange combo, but you’ll be able to find out during this birthday theme!

First we’ll learn about how circuits can be powered by pickles, yes you read that correctly, pickles. Then, we’ll move onto using play-dough as a way to connect a circuit together.  Finally, we’ll incorporate other electronic components such as LEDs and buzzers with craft materials such as feathers, pipe cleaners, straws and sticks to create marvellous illuminating pieces of electronic art. Each child will go home with their very own colourful electronic sculpture.

***NEW FOR 2019***
SLIME: THE SCIENCE OF POLYMERS

This party is perfect for your slime connoisseur!

Did you know that slime is actually science, more specifically chemistry? In this party, your guests will start off by learning about polymers, molecules, and states of matter. They will then get the chance to make not one, but two different types of slime!

DRAWING ROBOTS

Has your child ever told you that they would like to build a robot? If you answered yes, then this is the birthday party theme for them!

During this party, each guest will get to build their own robotic drawing machine using electronic components (including a mini motor) and then decorate it a variety of craft and upcycled materials. The result will be a hilariously absurd robot that each child can take home and will be an endless source of fun!

SOFT CIRCUITS: LIGHT UP BOOKMARK

Welcome to the world of electronics and textiles!

In this birthday party, your guests will learn how to make soft electronic circuits using conductive thread, sewable electronic components, and fabric. Each child will stitch together a soft felt bookmark that they can take home to use to read that great novel in the dark! This party is a great introduction to sewing, design and circuitry.

Warning, this activity has been proven to impress!
