Kids ages 8–15 are invited to explore rocks through hands-on STEAM research practices, then crack open their own geode to discover hidden crystals, and take their unique treasure home!

This summer, spark curiosity in kids ages 8–15 with a hands-on STEAM adventure that blends science and reading! Participants will explore books and resources about rocks, minerals, and geodes, then apply what they learn through guided research and observation. The experience culminates in an exciting moment as each participant cracks open their own geode to reveal the crystals inside—taking home both a one-of-a-kind specimen and a deeper appreciation for science and discovery.
