Fun with Science: Engaging Young Minds through Creative Scientific Activities

Fun with Science, led by Ciera Gaskins, aims to educate children aged 9-12 about science through enjoyable and interactive activities. Our objectives include fostering imagination, encouraging scientific inquiry, and enhancing knowledge through hands-on experiments like Glow Cup and Oobleck. With 15 participants and valuable feedback from surveys, we successfully created a fun learning environment. Despite initial time management challenges, our group learned and improved in subsequent sessions, ensuring a rewarding experience. We look forward to evolving our program based on participant insights!

  2. MISSION As a program our mission is to educate our participants about science and having fun while doing so.

  3. GOALS & OBJECTIVES • To educate participants in science. • To create a fun way for participants to understand scientific activities. • Encourage the participants to use their imagination and challenge themeselves. • Have complete scientific knowledge about the activity. • Create activity such as Glow Cup and Oobleck. • While participants engage in their activity, we asked questions to gain knowledge on their thoughts and the conclusions they were creating at the time.

  4. REFLECTION As a group, we feel that our overall program went well. At first, time management was an issue but we regrouped and reevaluated so we could fix our mistakes during the second session. Both activities (glow cup and oobleck) had participants engaged as well as entertained. As a whole, we were fortunate to have such great volunteers who helped with preperation along with supervision. In the end, each group member was satisfied with the outcome of our first program, “Fun with Science”.
