Where Science Meets Creativity!
A hands on literacy and STEM experience where children explore the science behind one of their favorite drinks...lemonade!
What is Sweet Science Lemonade Lab?
The Sweet Science Lemonade Lab is an interactive literacy and STEAM experience created by Full STEAM Ahead. Inspired by the book, Elise's Lemonade Lab, this program introduces children to the exciting world of chemistry, measurement, and experimentation through a fun and engaging lemonade-themed science lab.
Children will explore how ingredients interact, test different combinations, and discover how science is part of everyday life. Through hands-on exploration, children learn that scientists ask questions, test ideas, and learn from their discoveries.
Join Us for the Sweet Science Lemonade Lab Fundraiser!
We're bringing the Sweet Science Lemonade Lab to life during a special fundraising event hosted by Full STEAM Ahead.
Children and families will explore the science behind lemonade through hands-on experiements, storytime, and creative STEM challenges.
Every ticket helps support our programs for youth in our community and events such as our Brown Girls Wear White Coats Expo happening in August.
