STEM Explorers

Big Questions. Hands-On Discoveries.

Bring science to life through interactive, play-based experiences created by Museum educators and the Green Teens.

Children might experiment with energy, investigate animal adaptations, explore the natural world and more, all while asking questions and making discoveries of their own.

Explore STEM Topics

Keep exploring with activities, experiments and resources inspired by past STEM Explorers projects.

Gardening

Dig into plants, pollinators, composting and the science that helps gardens grow.

Seasons

Investigate weather, seasonal changes and the science happening outside all year long.

Animals

Discover amazing adaptations, habitats and the science behind the animals that share our world.

Conservation

Explore simple ways to protect our planet, conserve resources and care for the natural world.

Outer Space

Blast off into rockets, astronomy and the science of exploring beyond our planet.

Great Outdoors

Head outside and discover STEM through nature, observation and exploration.

Become a Citizen Scientist

Observe. Collect. Contribute.

Real science happens right here at LICM! Visit our Milkweed Garden to look for monarch butterflies and learn how LICM collects observations that contribute to research aimed at understanding and protecting this important species.

It’s a chance for young scientists to see how simple actions like observing, asking questions and collecting information can help us better understand the natural world.

STEM Weekend

Meet. Make. Experiment.

Meet scientists, try hands-on activities and make discoveries together during LICM’s annual STEM Weekend.

Scientists, educators, community partners and Green Teens fill the Museum with interactive experiences that give children the chance to explore STEM, meet people working in STEM fields and see where their own curiosity can take them.

Discover STEM All Year Long

Families can discover special workshops, visiting scientists, pop-up activities, community partnerships and special events exploring everything from engineering and technology to energy, ecology, sustainability and the natural sciences.

Check our calendar to see what you can discover during your next visit.
