Mad Scientist's Lab

Maker's Workshop

Where curiosity gets messy — and learning comes alive!

Grades 3–5 | 8 Weeks  | Monday | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM


Get ready for an electrifying 8-week adventure that transforms young learners into mini mad scientists. Each week, kids dive into hands-on experiments and maker challenges that explore the wonders of chemistry, physics, engineering, and more — all through wacky, wildly fun activities.

From fizzing rockets and slime labs to glowing potions, dancing sprinkles, and buzzing robot monsters, this workshop sparks imagination and builds a love of science that lasts. It's not just about experiments — it’s about asking “What if?” and watching eyes light up when kids discover the answers for themselves.


Each student will receive a Lab coat, Safety Glasses, and their own Mad Scientist Badge with lanyard to take home at the end of the workshop.

Mad Scientist Lab

Revisit favorite concepts & showcase discoveries


Learning Goals
  • Discover core concepts in chemistry, physics, and engineering

  • Strengthen observation, prediction, and creative problem-solving skills

  • Build teamwork and communication through group challenges

  • Gain confidence by sharing discoveries at our final showcase


A Few Sample Projects
  • Concoct bubbling brews and colorful potions that foam over like mini volcanoes

  • Whip up glowing goo that comes alive under blacklight

  • Build wacky “monster bots” that wiggle, dance, and sometimes topple over

  • Guide mystery objects through a hidden maze — using only the power of magnets


(And that’s just a taste! The rest is top secret — to be revealed in our mad lab each week!)!)


Showcase & Takeaways

In our final week, families are invited to explore our Mad Scientist Lab, where young makers proudly demonstrate their favorite experiments and creations.
