Drop off your kindergarten through 5th-grade students for an exciting, Thanksgiving-themed evening of Challenge Island STEAM challenges, high-energy games, and messy science. Our Thanksgiving Kids-Night-Out combines holiday spirit with hands-on teamwork, keeping your kids fully engaged while you prep for the big feast or simply unwind.

STEAM Event Highlights

• Football Prototypes: Kids use engineering skills to design, build, and test their own mini football games.

• Turkey Mud Run: Teams collaborate to design & prototype obstacles for a turkey to tackle, to avoid becoming Thanksgiving dinner!

• Mashed Potato Slime: Junior scientists mix up a batch of surprisingly realistic (and totally fun) potato-and-gravy slime.

Challenge Island is an award-winning STEAM enrichment program where kids solve fun, hands-on “challenges” which teach them about STEAM fundamentals and crosscurricular 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!
