SUMMARY:Halloween Agamograph Craft!
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for some spooky fun with our Halloween Agamograph Craft! In this creative activity\, kids will make their very own agamograph—a special type of art that changes its image when you move it. Using simple materials\, you’ll design two Halloween-themed pictures that will shift as you tilt your craft\, revealing a surprise image like a pumpkin turning into a bat! \nThis activity is a fun way to explore and get into the Halloween spirit! Come create some Halloween magic and take home your very own moving masterpiece! \nWhy should I encourage my kids to attend? \nAs kids craft their anamographs\, they’ll learn about the science of optical illusions and how our eyes and brain work together to interpret what we see. Here’s how it works: you draw two pictures\, and then you cut them into strips and mix them up. When you fold the paper like an accordion\, your eyes only see one set of strips at a time. So\, from one angle\, you see the first picture\, and from another angle\, you see the second picture. Your brain puts it all together\, and it looks like the picture is changing! This is all thanks to how your eyes and brain work together to process information. Your brain tries to make sense of what your eyes are seeing\, but in this craft\, we’re playing a little trick on it! Optical illusions like this teach us that sometimes\, what we see isn’t always exactly what’s there. It’s a cool mix of art and science! \nThis activity is a fun way to explore get into the Halloween spirit! Come create some Halloween magic and take home your very own moving masterpiece!

SUMMARY:STEM Challenge: Build Your Own Catapult Launcher!
DESCRIPTION:Ready for some hands-on engineering fun? Join us for an exciting STEM Challenge where you’ll get to craft your very own catapult launcher! Using simple materials like cardboard tubes\, rubber bands\, and ping pong balls\, you’ll design\, build\, and test your catapult to see how far you can launch your ping pong projectiles. \nThis interactive challenge is perfect for young engineers and creative thinkers. You’ll not only have fun building but also learn about physics\, force\, and angles in a fun and engaging way. \nWhen you build a catapult\, you’re learning about some important ideas in physics—the science of how things move. One key concept is force.  A force is simply a push or pull that makes something move. In your catapult\, when you pull back on the launcher (the part you’re building with the cardboard tube and rubber bands)\, you’re storing energy. This stored energy is called potential energy. The more you pull back\, the more potential energy you’re building up. \nWhen you release the launcher\, the potential energy turns into kinetic energy\, which is the energy of motion. The catapult flings the ping pong ball forward because the rubber bands quickly snap back to their original shape\, pushing the ball into the air. This is an example of how energy can change from one type to another—potential to kinetic! \nThere’s also the idea of trajectory\, which is the path your ping pong ball will follow after it’s launched. The angle at which you release the ball will change how far and high it flies. By experimenting with different angles and forces\, you can figure out how to make your ping pong ball fly the farthest. That’s how real engineers design machines—by testing and tweaking until they get the best results!
