What would you like to be when you grow up? A doctor? A scientist? An engineer? Take learning beyond the books and experience life in the lab where you will imagine, explore, and learn with CuSTEMized and The Innovation Institute at this fun-filled, hands-on learning event!


- Learn from real scientists on how to be a scientist
- Use real lab equipment and tour Ti2's commercial-grade lab infrastructure
- Perform lab experiments to understand properties of materials
- Collaborate to engineer and construct a functional model of a joint
- Have fun with coloring pages featuring different science, technology, engineering, and other cool careers
- Hear from real scientists studying how do brains grows, how to cure cancer, and other scientific topics
- Take the science with you and keep on exploring with a goodie bag of science equipment to take home


Labs segments will be a preview of the Living in the Lab Series by The Innovation Institute. Families interested in furthering their children's education will have the opportunity to reserve a space for their kids to participate in the full series course at the Innovation Institute held four Sundays in October.


Each child will receive a goodie bag containing lab gear including a lab notebook, a lab apron, lab goggles, nitrile lab gloves, and a 30x microscope to take home in order to continue to build on what they've learned! Provided by Thermo Fisher Scientific and The Innovation Institute.


Highly recommended for kids ages 6 to 8. All families welcome.
