Preschool Workshops support scientific learning for preschool-aged children (ages 3–5) through hands-on activities that spark curiosity and build foundational STEM skills.
Our workshops inspire the scientists inside our littlest learners, providing engaging experiences in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Each activity is aligned with North Dakota Science Standards and encourages exploration of concepts like growth, matter, engineering, coding, and more.
STEM Educators provide everything needed for the experience, including all materials, setup, and facilitation. These workshops are designed to engage students in meaningful, interactive science education while supporting early childhood educators with tools and strategies to extend learning.
Available Workshops for PreK
Chemistry
Investigate the fizzing, foaming, and bubbling of chemistry! Activities include color changes with chemicals, and chemical reactions (vinegar and baking soda).
Five Senses
Children investigate the world with all of their senses, just like scientists do! Explore the five senses with sound identification (hear), blackout goggles and magnifying glasses (see), mystery box and texture collage (touch), scent identification (smell), food sampling with sweet, sour, taste, bitter (taste).
Seeds and Sprouts and Flowers, OH MY!
Kids love plants! Take advantage of their natural curiosity with plant investigations, plant dissection and seed magnification, seed sorting and counting, and planting seeds to take home.
Space
Children explore their place in the universe and become astronomers with an introduction to planets and stars, and making telescopes and stomp rockets to take home.
Dinosaurs
Children have so many questions about dinosaurs! To help answer those questions, we’ll cast and mold fossils, measure dinosaur footprints, assemble dinosaur puzzles, and create a volcano!
Color
Investigate color by exploring color combinations, spin art, and sorting!
What’s the Matter?
What is everything made of? Children will explore types of matter (solid, liquid, and gas), learn about how each type is unique, and discuss how matter can change from one form to another.
Beautiful Butterflies
How beautiful are butterflies! Where do they come from, how are they so colorful? Children will explore the life cycle of butterflies, their wing patterns, anatomy, and how they help pollinate flowers.
Custom Workshops
Have a specific need for a workshop that you don’t see on this list? Let us know! We create custom workshops for individual needs and make sure they align to standards, are hands-on, and highly interactive.
