Summer is all about FUN and that is what children will have at Mad Science of Palm Beach’s S.T.E.M. themed camps. At our summer camps learning science and the skills of tomorrow are made fun through daily hands-on experiments, challenges and projects.
This summer we will be offering a new, exciting camp option – BRIXOLOGY! And, we are in 3 new locations: We Rock the Spectrum, Grandview Academy & St. Vincent Ferrer in Delray!
| We Rock the Spectrum 9060 Kimberly Blvd #36-39 Boca Raton, FL 33434 June 8 -12: Rockets and Robots July 6 - 10: Inventors and Explorers July 27 - 31: Spy Academy | Grandview Preparatory 336 Spanish River Blvd. Boca Raton, FL 33431 June 15 - 19: Spy Academy June 22 - 26: BRIXOLOGY |
St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic School 810 George Bush Blvd Delray Beach, FL 3348 June 13 - 17: Spy Academy July 20 - 24: Inventors and Explorers |
During BRIXOLOGY camp, children learn about different types of engineering and then team up to construct a different engineering-themed project using LEGO® bricks. Each day they explore different aspects of engineering from aerospace while assembling a space station to mechanical engineering building boats and vehicles. Your future engineer will build upon their creativity to solve real-world design challenges, while developing their problem-solving and team-building skills.
Of course, favorite camps Inventors and Explorers, Spy Academy and Rockets and Robots will returning and offering children a chance to explore their inner inventor, detective and engineer.

Don’t forget that we still offer our amazing Birthday Parties during the summer. Children will love our new, sticky party theme – Super Sticky Slime. During this fully interactive party children make three different polymers (slime to you nonscientist) while learning how plastics can create some interesting things. Ready to learn more?

BUBBLE CATCHING!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Stretchy cotton gloves
- A bottle of bubble solution with a bubble wand
- A friend
WHAT YOU DO:
Step 1. Put on the stretchy gloves.
Step 2. Ask your friend to blow some bubbles.
Step 3. Place your hand out so that a bubble can land on your palm.
๏ปฟCan you catch it without bursting it?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Bubbles are made from a thin film of soapy water that is filled with air. The water drops form little bridges that link them together. The soap coats the water bridges to keep them linked up. These bridges create surface tension – they keep the bubble from bursting. You can touch a bubble if you don’t break the surface tension. You can do this if you wear a clean, dry cloth object like the stretchy gloves. Adding dirt or oil can break the surface tension. Your fingers are naturally oily, which is why touching a bubble without the gloves would burst the bubble!
TRY THIS: Take off the gloves and coat your hand with the bubble solution. Try to catch a bubble with your soapy hand. Which way works better for catching bubbles?
