Pirate Quest
Grades 1–3
Join the Pirate Science Crew in an immersive adventure where young explorers use real science skills to solve mysteries of the sea through hands-on investigation and engineering design. Students become pirate scientists as they launch cannonballs, retrieve treasure, engineer ships, and design treasure chests.
Science TEKS: 3.1B, 3.1G, 3.6C, 3.7B
Electrical Engineers in Action
Grades 4–5, with 6th grade review
Join the Energy Engineers Crew in a high-voltage adventure where students investigate how energy transforms and moves through the world and outer space by building, testing, and troubleshooting real electrical systems. Students explore squishy circuits, solve circuit mystery challenges, and design green energy solutions.
Science TEKS: 5.8A, 5.8B, 5.6B
Texas Land Lab
Grades 1–5
Join the Texas Land Lab Crew in a hands-on Earth science adventure where students investigate how wind, water, ice, and natural disasters shape and reshape our planet’s surface. Students become geoscientists as they model canyons, design clay landforms, and explore rapid surface changes through simulations.
Science TEKS: 5.10C
Artemis: Mission to the Moon
Grades K–8
Blast off on an action-packed field trip filled with hands-on challenges, creative building, and discoveries about space exploration. From launching and landing missions to exploring the Moon’s surface, students think like engineers, scientists, and astronauts as they complete their lunar mission.
Curiosity Carnival
Grades 6–8
Step into Carnival Science, where students explore chemistry and physics through hands-on, carnival-themed challenges. Students investigate chemical reactions by creating carnival monsters, explore surface tension through boat races, investigate speed as they code through a putt-putt course, and test the laws of motion by building and playing LEGO carnival games.
Science TEKS: 6.6E, 7.6C, 7.7A, 7.7B, 7.7C, 8.6B, 8.7A
