Open Lab
Open Lab is offered for two age groups: Tiny Scientists (3-5 years old) and scientists 6+ years old. This is a time when Urban STEAM Lab is open to the community for drop-in science. Each week stations are set up around the room for both independent and group-guided learning. During Open Lab hours, the instructor will describe the goals of each projects and ask open-ended questions to help focus our scientists’ thinking around scientific topics.
Registration is now required. At least 3 kiddos must be registered to run the class.

Open Lab: Tiny Scientists (ages 3-5)
Let your preschooler explore their senses! Age-appropriate activities and experiments are set up at different stations around the lab, so your tiny tinkerer can make a mess, learn, and play with the help of an adult in a stress-free environment. Drop-off is not available for this age group. This class is in caregiver-and-me format. $20/scientist.

Open Lab (ages 6+)
Explore on your terms! Bring your own project or work on one of the independent learning experiments we’ve crafted for you. Either way, enjoy access to our resources and equipment while collaborating with friends, old and new. For this age group, you may drop-off your scientists. $35/scientist.
