"Winter Wonderlab" transforms The Village Kids' Club into a magical science laboratory where the wonders of winter come to life through fascinating experiments and hands-on discovery! Young scientists will explore the captivating world of crystals, creating their own sparkling snowflake formations while understanding the mathematics and chemistry behind crystallization. Our engineering workshop challenges budding inventors to design and build winter-themed contraptions and mechanical toys, developing problem-solving skills through playful creation. The grand finale features a festive food science day where children discover the chemistry behind holiday treats while creating their own delicious concoctions.
