The UNH STEM Discovery Lab will host its fourth annual 4-H Science Bonanza on Saturday, December 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
MANCHESTER, NH – The Science Bonanza will provide a fun day of STEM-powered activities. Youth can engage in hands-on sessions to learn about the wonders of science!
Children can dissect flowers, identify twigs and propagate a houseplant; design, build and race a wind-powered boat; create a nature journal; make a smoothie using energy harnessed from pedaling a bicycle; explore electricity by creating circuits; learn about polymers through making slime…and so much more!
In addition to a fun Saturday outing, the 4-H Science Bonanza also introduces many families to the possibilities of 4-H. Information about 4-H clubs and events will be shared and local organizations will provide demonstrations of their offerings. Lunch will be provided (for those with food allergies, we encourage you to bring a lunch from home) and an exciting raffle will wrap up the event.
Although geared toward youth ages 5-13, young adults and adults are also welcome to attend. The cost is $15 per student with a maximum tab of $30 per family. Scholarships are available; for more information, contact Sarah Grosvenor at Sarah.Grosvenor@unh.edu or (603) 641-6060.
Please note that COVID-19 protocols will be followed and all attendees will be expected to wear a mask.
The STEM Discovery Lab is located at UNH Manchester – 88 Commercial Street.
