Constellations, Space, Astronomy, Planetarium

Space Science Adventurer

In this program, Brownies will learn what a constellation is and create a constellation viewer of their own constellation. They will also make a model of the solar system that can fit in their pockets. A live planetarium show is included in this program.

Coding, Robotics

Daisy How Robots Move

This program meets some requirements for both Daisy Coding for Good, and Daisy How Robots Move. Daisies will try their hands at “coding” a sandwich robot, and take turns at programming their friends to do a simple tasks. They will also take turns using a robot.

Engineer, Forces

Mechanical Engineering Roller Coaster Design Challenge

Daisies will learn about how roller coasters work, and will design a coaster car. They will test a pre-made roller coaster, and then use what they learn to create their own.

Space, Astronomy, Constellations, Planetarium

Sky

In this program, Seniors will learn about the night sky. They will learn about different constellations and how to find the North Star. A live planetarium show is included in this program.

In this program, Cadettes will learn about constellations. They will learn how telescopes work and get a chance to use one. A digital planetarium show is included.

Space, Astronomy, Moon, Planets, Constellations, Planetarium

Space Science Investigator

In this program, Juniors will examine the scale size of the Earth versus the Moon. They will make a tool to help them locate the constellations in the night sky and figure out how old they would be on other planets. A live planetarium show is included in this program.

Investigation, Chemistry, Mystery

Detective

In this program, Juniors are needed to solve a crime! They will look for clues, do some testing and analysis, and build a case. Can they solve this mystery whodunnit?

Animation, Art, Roller Coaster, Vision

Entertainment Technology

In this program, Juniors will be learning about the science behind some of their entertainment. They will learn what a thaumatrope is and how it works. They will make a pair of 3D glasses and learn the science behind why it works. They will even get a chance to build and test a roller coaster.

Space, Astronomy, Light, Vision, Planetarium

Space Science Adventurer

In this program, Cadettes will learn about light, both the kind we see and what we can’t. They will create a tool to help break down visible light into its various spectrum and learn how this helps scientists learn more about the stars. A live planetarium show is included in this program.

Engineer, Maker, Forces

Mechanical Engineering Racer Car Design Challenge

In this program, Brownies will learn about the forces that affect speed. Using what they have learned, they will design and build a simple race car, which they will then test by rolling it down a ramp. If they have time, they can adjust their car to make it faster.
