Get ready for an exciting, sun-powered adventure!

In this sun-inspired experience, young explorers will dive deep into the incredible ways the sun shapes our world. From energizing our planet to helping us keep track of time, the sun is more powerful than we think, and this workshop brings its wonders to life! What can they expect from this workshop?

Outdoor Sun Exploration – We’ll embark on a thrilling outdoor adventure to observe how the sun moves across the sky, gaining a real-time understanding of how it impacts our daily lives.

Ancient Timekeeping with Sundials – Step into history as they create their very own sundials to tell time, just like ancient civilizations did – blending science, history, and creativity in one fun activity!

Creative Sun Art – Unleash creativity by crafting vibrant sun prints and dazzling sun catchers that capture the radiant beauty of sunlight. Each child will bring home their colorful creations as lasting reminders of their sun-filled journey.

By the end of this workshop, participants will not only have hands-on experience with the sun’s incredible power, but also take home unique, sun-themed crafts – and a deeper appreciation for the sun’s role in nature!
