In this special Challenge Island workshop series (inspired by the “I Survived” book series), we’ll visit Disaster Island, where we will go 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 in small teams to tackle epic STEAM challenges by designing, building & testing slime, suspension bridges, campgrounds, Plinko games and volcano-proof housing 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: San Francisco Earthquake

·        Week 3: Grizzly Bear Campground

·        Week 4: The Children's Blizzard

·        Week 5: Mount Vesuvius Eruption

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