Don’t Have a STEM Lab? Invite the Mobile STEAM Museum to Your School!
Don’t have a school STEM Lab or Library Maker Space yet? Don’t despair! Our school hosted Mobile Ed Productions STEAM Museum. It is a traveling exhibit of various hands-on STEM activities. They come to your school or library!
The STEAM Museum brings a variety of interactive exhibits to your school, including a humanoid NAO robot who speaks, walks, and dances; a bike generator that converts kids’ kinetic energy into electricity; a friction raceway, with different textured rollers; a foam-block parabolic arch that students build together; interlocking gears; Ozobots for the iPad; plasma sphere; Newton’s cradle, and more!
Students are encouraged to circulate freely around the exhibits, so a number of adult supervisors are needed. In our school, the special area teachers volunteered to man the stations. Or, you might enlist PTA parents to help out. It is a great alternative to a field trip to the science museum, since multiple classes can take turns visiting the STEAM museum and since it is in-school, no permission slips are needed. Our students had a blast!
