Summer 2026
Half-Day Hands-On Summer Classes
Slime Laboratories
Is your child obsessed with slime? At Mat-Su Learn and Inspire, we’re taking that gooey obsession and turning it into a full-blown scientific investigation!
This isn't just about making a mess (though we’ll definitely do that). This week is all about exploring the "why" behind the slime. Your campers will become official product testers, using the scientific method to observe, test, and analyze all sorts of wild textures. From polymers to non-Newtonian fluids, we’re diving deep into real-world chemistry, one batch of slime at a time.
The best part? Every single day, your scientist will create a custom masterpiece to bring home!
Chemical Reactions Lab
Students will explore chemistry through hands-on experiments that focus on mixtures, fluids, and chemical reactions. Each day, campers will observe, test, and analyze how substances interact while learning key science concepts such as density, pH, conductivity, and chemical change.
Air, Flight, and Aerodynamics
Students will explore the science of air, flight, and space travel through hands-on engineering challenges and experiments. Campers will learn about air composition, Bernoulli’s Principle, and the four forces of flight while testing drag, streamlining, propulsion, and buoyancy. Activities include designing paper gliders, engineering hot air balloons, participating in flight challenges, and comparing aircraft and spacecraft.
