In this special Challenge Island evening program (inspired by the "I Survived" book series), we'll visit Disaster Island, where we will take you on a thrilling adventure through some of the most famous disasters in history!  Students will learn about the history, impact and science behind these major world events, as they work together to tackle epic STEAM challenges by building slime, shelters, wind turbines, exit mazes and snow runs using only the materials in their treasure chest and the power of their imagination.  Here's the locations and topics we plan to visit each week:

·        Week 1: Tribal Spirit Rally at the Boston Molasses Disaster

·        Week 2: Mount Vesuvius Eruption

·        Week 3: Hurricane Harbor

·        Week 4: Great Chicago Fire

·        Week 5: Avalanche Mountain

Challenge Island is an award-winning STEAM enrichment program where kids solve fun, hands-on “challenges” which teach them about STEAM fundamentals, crosscurricular topics, plus important success skills like creativity, critical thinking, problem solving and much more.  Students work together in small "tribes" to solve each week's challenges, giving them an opportunity to grow their teamwork and social skills as well.  We look forward to seeing you on Challenge Island!
