STEAM Workshop

Homeschool STEAM @ Old Wilson Schoolhouse

Join us for an interactive, hands-on, scientific mess at the Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center! Our curriculums honor self-discovery and student inquiry by engaging students in a variety of sensory filled exploratory STEAM stations. Programs end with a big, messy project where students get to apply their learning through problem solving and creativity. Check out our STEAM page to read about the variety of STEAM programs that we offer!

Age Range: Kindergarten through 5th grade. Age appropriateness of the curriculum depends on the specific program offered.

The programs are multi-grade and any K-5 child is always welcome but please note some programs are geared towards lower elementary science standards while others are geared toward upper elementary. Please see registration info for program description.

Cost: $25 per child.

Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm

Spring Dates:

Wednesday, April 19

Force and Motion: Wednesday 4/19
Program Description: Students plan, design, engineer, test and improve their very own Newton Racers (a cardboard car) throughout this lab. Students use their cars to test Sir Isaac Newton’s Three Laws of Motion: The Law of Inertia, The Law of Acceleration and the Law that states, for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. They get to crash, race and add “motion” to their cars in the form of magnets, balloons and sails.

Human Activity: Wednesday 5/31
Program Description: Students will be introduced to engineering solutions to human activity within fragile earth systems. They will be able to play with wildlife corridors, build a town meant to survive a flooding event, and learn about landscape history through fossil identification and the effect of oil fracking. Incorporating themes of human activity, its importance, and its ultimate impact on the ecosystems it occurs in. Reflection will be a large part of this program. Giving students time and agency to explore themes regarding earth systems and their impact on humans, and how we can be the best stewards of these systems. This program will be filled with opportunities for students to engage in ideas surrounding human impact on the environment.

Slow/Fast Earth Changes: Wednesday 6/14
Program Description: Students explore how the earth changes through fast and slow processes. During exploratory stations, we'll get our hands dirty by experimenting with landform and land change models, including avalanche simulations, eroding soil and earthquakes! Their learnings will then be connected to place by using evidence to uncover the earth changes that have shaped Jackson Hole. The lesson will culminate with the opportunity for students to use their creative engineering skills to build a flood barrier to prevent soil erosion.
