Last STEM ENGINEERING LAB of the summer is
approaching on Friday, August 2nd, from 3:00-5:00 PM. Join us for
some time building, exploring and designing with our STEM building supplies.
Whether you're a pro at science, technology, engineering and math or you are
just being introduced, you'll love expanding your brain power with our magnetic
tiles, brain flakes, KEVA planks and marble runs. Please register in advance
(all ages) and then swing by anytime in the window to enjoy these STEM toys!
A UNIVERSE OF CONSTELLATIONS: What is your favorite constellation? Do you
know the ones you can spot from our place on the planet? Register (grades K-5) to learn some stories,
names, and facts about the most popular constellations and then use your
matching skills to identify the correct ones in our constellation viewers!
Join us from 6:30-7:30 PM for science, stars and maybe a surprise or two as well! This is Ms. Michelle’s last program on August 5th, so please sign up, or if you are not in the correct age bracket stop in to say goodbye and wish her well.
STELLAR
SWEETS: Did you know that chocolate has been a part of every Russian
and American space voyage? Did you know
that astronauts recently did some experiments with chocolate to see if
microgravity allowed for finer mixing of the ingredients? T/weens will soon know this and more by
joining Mike Cross (Department of Natural Sciences at Northern Essex Community
College) as we explore the DELICIOUS topic of chocolate, a stellar sweet!
Admission requires each t/ween to bring one type of ‘dipper’
for the chocolate fountain in quantities of 15 or more. Example of
dippers—-marshmallows, hulled strawberries, bite-sized fruits like cantaloupe
or honey dew melon, teddy grahams, oreos, nilla wafers, sponge cake, granola
bars, biscotti, rice krispie treats,
grapes, lady fingers, and orange segments.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION. Please
remember that the item you bring should be in dipping size before you
arrive. Thank you!
Preregistration is required and youth should be age 10 or at a
minimum entering grade 5 in the fall.
This event is August 6th at 6:30-7:30 PM and only for tweens
and teens in the correct age bracket.
This will be a sweet STEM experience!
PRESENTER – Mike Cross Instructor of Chemistry at Northern
Essex Community College (and Atkinson resident). Before coming to Northern
Essex, Mike was an instructor of chemistry and department chair at the College
of Eastern Utah. Mike holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of
Utah where he specialized in oxidative lesions in DNA and RNA. Since most
everyone loves chocolate, teens will be interested to know why it’s good for
them, how much is healthy, and what kinds they should eat. Mike’s presentations include magic tricks!
This is a ‘UNIVERSE OF STORIES’ summer reading event sponsored
by THE FRIENDS OF KIMBALL LIBRARY.
GAMING
