Powerhouse
Get ready to power up! Join an engineering team on an energizing adventure to sustainably power a region of Connecticut. In this hands-on activity, students will explore how energy is produced, its impact on the environment, and experiment with renewable energy sources. They’ll power a model landscape with solar, wind, or "fossil fuel" energy, dig for "fuel" to operate a power plant, and test a hand-crank generator. It’s time to plug into the future of energy!

Crash Lab
See the science of force and motion come to life with this hands-on crash lab experience! In this program, students will explore how the strength of a force changes with an object’s weight by conducting car crash experiments.
Storm Trackers
Turn your students into storm trackers! This immersive experience lets them step into the roles of meteorologists, using wind models, rainfall data, and past storm patterns to predict a hurricane’s path.
