Science Scouts: Building Blocks
July 1, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
FREE
Building Blocks— Saturday, July 1—10:30 am – noon
Young designers will explore the possibilities in planning, design and construction. Learn about different materials needed to construct buildings, and use everyday materials to make the tallest and sturdiest tower.
Join us for hands-on science experiments and sensory-rich projects in workshops specially designed for children, ages 5–7, with autism spectrum disorder and their parents and siblings.
Science Scouts workshops include a small teacher-to-student ratio as students practice focusing/concentration, social cognition, collaboration/teamwork, listening/comprehension skills and more. Our educators are trained to work with kids with differences.
These free workshops provide opportunities to enjoy family time at the museum in a welcoming, safe and understanding environment, allow parents to network with one another, and help families discover the wonder of science learning together. Materials will include visual schedules, a communication booklet and more.
