Participation prizes to the first 200 kids. There is no pre-registration or fee to participate at STEM Night; there are fees associated with joining the SSKY Cube Team.
Egg Drop!
Build a contraption that will protect a raw egg from a 25’ drop! It must be smaller than a 12” cube, weigh less than 5 lbs, cannot use a parachute, and must not be dangerous or extra-messy. Using any materials, kids can work in teams and with adult assistance, but each child may only participate in a single egg drop.
Trebuchet Launch!
Build a trebuchet that can send a gummy bear flying! Your trebuchet can be made with family or friends, use any materials, and be homemade or from a kit — as long as you can carry it, you can launch it! Kids can work in teams and with adult assistance, but each child may only participate in a single trebuchet launch.
Robot Runway!
Build a robot, any robot, and send it down the red carpet at STEM Night! We’ll have music, lights and an MC, so bring something amazing to show us! Your robot can be any size, any shape, and made from any materials, homemade or from a kit–but it may not be dangerous or extra-messy, and must conform to school rules. Kids can work in teams, and with adult assistance, but each child may only exhibit a single robot.
Rubik’s Cube Team Tryouts!
Get to twisting and get ready to shout, because if you can solve the Rubik’s Cube in under two minutes you’ll qualify to be a part of the 2017 Sonoran Sky Rubik’s Cube Team!
