Everybody loves Slime! Learn about polymers in an interactive setting.

     Enjoy a fun yoga class followed by a relaxing sound bath! What’s a sound bath you ask? It’s a bath for your mind! Relax and listen to soothing vibrations while taking a trip through the subconscious mind creating a vision for your future self. It’s the coolest thing ever.

This workshop discovers how your muscles work with special sensors we use in our lab. Join us to measure your muscle activity in an exciting arm wrestling challenge!

In this workshop, you will dive into the world of semiconductors and chips to discover your everyday applications. You will get hands-on experience with circuitry and learn key engineering principles like testing and design by working collaboratively in teams to create a two-wheeled car. This interactive session combines technology and teamwork, bringing ideas to life!

In this hands-on session we will create animated introductions to our future selves.

Create your own retro arcade game by programming with Microsoft MakeCode!

This activity will introduce engineering design and buoyant force concepts (I.e., designing a boat that floats!). In this competition, you will design and build boats from the provided materials (cardstock?) and load them with “passengers” (pennies). The boat that holds the most pennies wins!

     We will look at the role of an anatomic pathologist in the care of patients with tumors. Get to see representative samples of tissue hands on and under the microscope.

     Why do people play games when they could be doing something like curing cancer? In this workshop, we’ll talk about how games are part of human nature and growth, play some games, and learn a bit about how math and AI have been used to tackle interesting questions of gameplay.

Chromatography explores the separation of colors. Sign up for this workshop to engage in some art based chemistry and take home your own customized bucket hat.

     In this hands-on workshop, you will design and construct your own suspension bridges using limited materials. This fun and educational activity will teach basic engineering principles, encourage creativity, and foster teamwork as students test the strength and stability of your creations.

        In this mind opening workshop, you will learn about how AI works as well as some of the exciting things that can be done with current AI models. You will also learn AI model vulnerabilities and risks and how to use AI models safely.

     In the ‘SPOT THE PHISH’ workshop, you will learn to identify phishing scams by analyzing real and fake emails to spot red flags like suspicious links etc. Through interactive activities and a phishing themed crossword, you will gain practical skills to stay safe online.

Join Idaho Power to design and build a model wind turbine, then put your design to the test and measure how much electricity it can generate! We’re excited to see who can create the most POWERFUL wind turbine!

   This workshop could have two parts:

1) Career Exploration and Inspiration – Introducing middle school girls to the wide range of careers in the construction industry, along with hands-on activities that show the diversity of skills involved (engineering, design, project management, etc.).

2) From Blueprint to Build: The Power of 3D Modeling – In this section, participants will first build a small structure using blocks based on 2D drawings, and then experience the transformation by incorporating 3D modeling technology to visualize how these plans come to life. The exercise will highlight how modern software enhances understanding and accuracy in construction.
