Welcome to Steve Spangler's STEM Camp! Join television host and science celebrity Steve Spangler for his amazing week-long STEM Camp experience filled with wonder, discovery and exploration. If your young scientist learns best by doing, this camp experience will provide them with hours of hands-on learning guaranteed to boost creativity, strengthen critical thinking skills and fuel their love of learning.

*** SPECIAL NOTE - Included in the registration price is a special STEM Camp kit from Steve Spangler. The kit includes gizmos, gadgets and hands-on science materials to conducts the experiments featured each day. Upon registration you will be directed to a website to enter your shipping address, so we can send you the STEM Science kit.  You will receive the kit about a week prior to the start of the course.

The week-long camp meets for 1 hour each day with lots of opportunity for students to ask questions and interact with Steve. Each day is focused on a new and exciting theme with experiences that engage the students in experiments and challenges that reinforce the key science and engineering concepts of the day. Best of all, the students get to open a new bag of materials each day from their STEM Camp kit to use as they conduct the activities in real-time with Steve.

Daily activities:

Day 1 – TEST TUBE ADVENTURES
Roll up your sleeves and get ready to turn your kitchen countertop into a STEM lab complete with test tubes, safety glasses and some special surprises. Explore the science of physical and chemical reactions, color-changing liquids and bubbling solutions. Uncover the art and science of color mixing, density and carbon dioxide powered chemistry as your young scientist makes their own test tube lava lamp. Don’t be surprised if you hear screams of excitement erupting from the kitchen. That’s called making science fun.


Day 2 – ENERGY, ELECTRICITY & ELECTRONS (oh my)
How could something so tiny be so amazing? Welcome to the electron party! Experiment with circuits using a device that tests the flow of electrons through wires, liquids and other things that conduct electricity. You’ll also learn how to use electrons to make objects mysteriously move across the table and float through the air. Uncover the differences between insulators and conductors as you test the way electrons flow through different things. Get ready to turn your own body into a human conductor of electricity… and it’s perfectly safe!

Day 3 – BUBBLEOLOGY  
You will not believe what you can do with bubbles after you learn about the amazing science of soap. Use the scientific method to test and compare bubble solutions that turn ordinary bubbles into super-strong bubbles you can touch and bounce. You’ll even uncover the secret to making a square bubble. It’s the perfect combination of art and science.

Day 4 – WATER MAGIC
Imagine being able to make a glass of water disappear with a snap of your fingers. What if you could make a jar of water defy gravity when you turn it upside down, or turn liquid water into ice in a split second? Uncover why scientists believe water is the most amazing liquid in the world as you conduct experiments that explore the science of surface tension, density and absorbency. Perform science magic tricks, puzzles and mind-bending challenges all based on the science of water. Be careful… you just might become a science magician!

Day 5 – NEWTON’S ANTICS
Sir Isaac Newton may be most famous for being knocked on the head by a falling apple. Whether that story is true or not, one thing is certain… the world of science was forever changed by Newton’s scientific discoveries. The hands-on experiments and challenges featured in this class explore the science behind Newton’s First Law of Motion. Explore the science of inertia to better understand how and why objects move the way they do. Get ready for things to fling, fly, twist and drop as you perform experiments that would make Sir Isaac Newton proud. 

Steve Spangler is a masterful teacher who has the ability to create experiences that engage and connect with his students on a whole new level. Don’t be surprised if your young scientist spends hours after class each day re-imagining the concepts they learned in an effort to create something of their own they can’t wait to share with Steve the very next day. 

Here's what past participants had to say about Steve Spangler's STEM Camp...

My son kept telling me how much he was loving everything and how amazing it was to meet one of his idols. In a time where everything has been so uncertain and so much fun has been canceled, you have brought so much joy to our family!
Lauren and Tanner S. – Parents

As a scientist myself, I am loving seeing all of the engagement and the interactions the kids get with Steve. Experience of a lifetime.
Wendy J. – Parent

Thank you so much for making learning fun and reigniting the learning flame for my son. I know it sounds silly, but it warmed my heart when I heard him ask a question – I could see and hear his confidence!
Tamara L. – Parent

Steve’s love of STEM is topped only by his genuine love for children. He challenges them to seek solutions, instead of providing ready answers. Steve teaches the kids that STEM goes beyond science. No one presents a science concept like Steve. 
Tara M. – Grandparent 

Even in a Zoom setting, Steve makes every child feel noticed and special. He praises every child and builds them up. Steve mentors the next generation of scientists, instilling both a sense of wonder and engaging showmanship. His love of teaching and of children is real and palpable.
