A spooky, fizzy DIY monster lava lamp crafting activity for school-age children, part of Philadelphia STEM Equity Week.
Monster Lava Lamps is coming to Roxborough Library on Tuesday, October 27, at 3:30 PM. It's a DIY crafting session for school-age kids, and the project is exactly what the name says: making your own fizzy, spooky lava lamps. It's a hands-on activity that mixes creative crafting with STEM-powered fun, so it works as both an art project and a little science experiment.
The session is part of Philadelphia STEM Equity Week, a Free Library of Philadelphia initiative run in partnership with the Philadelphia STEM Equity Collective (PSEC). PSEC works to bring together educators, students, professionals, community leaders, and families to address systemic barriers and promote more equitable access to STEM fields. This particular activity fits right into that—taking science out of the classroom and putting it into a local library where kids can just jump in and build something themselves.
If you're looking for a way to get your kids into a bit of science and art on a Tuesday afternoon, this is a good spot to start. It's aimed at school-age children, so it's a great fit for the elementary and middle school crowd. The library handles the materials, and the focus is on the making—you'll walk away with a lava lamp you actually built. It's a low-pressure way to introduce the STEM side of things while keeping it creative.
