⚡️What an electrifying day at Museum Mania Camp!
Campers explored the science of electricity during a special visit from @conedison, then put their engineering skills to the test by designing and building colorful windmills, creating with the Rigamajig building system, and experimenting with our Magnetic House. With the museum all to ourselves, we explored Portia`s Playhouse and House About It, cooled off in the sprinklers, and enjoyed games in the meadow. 🦋🌞
We wrapped up the day with an exciting visit from Professor Chills, where campers discovered the surprising science behind static electricity. It was another day packed with hands-on STEM exploration, creativity, and fun!

🎉STEM was in full swing at Museum Mania Camp today!
Campers enjoyed a special visit from @pmpediatrics , where they learned what happens during a trip to the pediatrician, why there`s nothing to be afraid of, and how regular checkups help keep us healthy.
They also designed and tested their own pollinators as part of a hands-on STEM engineering challenge, explored the Bugs exhibit to learn about insects and their important role in our ecosystem, enjoyed exclusive time investigating the museum exhibits, cooled off in the meadow and sprinklers, and wrapped up the day with an exciting science show from Professor Chill. 🐜🐝
It was a day full of curiosity, discovery, and hands-on STEM learning!

✨A big thank you to @pmpediatrics for visiting our summer campers and helping make trips to the doctor`s office a little less scary! 💙
Through a heartfelt story and hands-on art activities, campers learned how to be brave during a doctor`s visit by practicing how to wrap a bandage, listen to a heartbeat with a stethoscope, and explore some of the tools healthcare professionals use every day.
To top it all off, each camper went home with their own art supplies and a toy stethoscope to continue the fun and learning at home. Thank you, PM Pediatric Care, for sharing such a meaningful and memorable experience with our campers!
