Weekly Programs

Our Weekly Programs offer fun, hands-on learning for young kids and their families. These programs are a great way for children to start exploring STEM topics while parents and caregivers can connect with each other.

We know early learning experiences are important, and we work hard to make them accessible for all families through our nonprofit mission. Most weekly programs are free with membership or general admission.

Some of our activities can get a little messy, involving materials like paint, water, and other materials. We recommend dressing your child in clothes that can handle a bit of creative chaos, and we have plenty of aprons to share. Look for the ‘Messy’ sticker on our social posts each week to know when to expect some extra fun!

Wednesdays | 10:30-11a

Best for ages 2-5

Join us for creative, hands-on activities that blend art and science! You and your child will explore how the arts connect with STEM (some people call that “STEAM”) in the natural and human-made world.

FREE with membership or general admission.

Thursdays | 10:30-11a

Best for ages 2-5

Explore science through stories and hands-on experiments! You and your child will dive into fun activities that bring science to life, with a new theme every week.

Limited Programs

In addition to our weekly offerings, we offer unique learning experiences through one-time programs and special events. These programs are designed to dive deeper into specific topics and often include partnerships with local STEM experts, organizations, and schools.

For 5th – 6th grade girls at Bald Eagle and Penns Valley

STEMPOWERED is an after-school enrichment program that seeks to empower girls by building their confidence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) topics and increasing their awareness of career options within STEM fields.

During each session we explore a different STEM theme through interactive experiments and engineering design challenges. We will also take field trips to meet female STEM professionals to learn about different career paths.
