Brain STEM workshops are for groups of up to 25 participants unless otherwise noted. By request, special accomodations may be available if your class size exceeds 25 students. Whether you're looking for a brain-booster before a test or your class is needing a fun in-class experience, we come to you and we bring all the needed materials with us. Imagine enjoying a field trip with no need for release forms or chaperones, and no need to book an expensive ride! Let us bring a fun educational experience to you.
Our workshops are a mix of hands-on learning and sensational demonstrations.
Efficiency is important to us and we reward it. Booking 2 or more workshops for the same calendar day will qualify you for discounts starting at $50/off. And, yes! Efficiency discounts may be combined with teacher discounts.
We travel throughout Southern Arizona. The formula for our mileage for travel outside of Tucson can be calculated using the IRS Standard Mileage rate x the roundtrip mileage from our location to yours.

Brain STEM takes your class on an educational trip through the 28-foot long tube inside of all of us starting at the mouth and ending at the... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!! We've got about 100,000 km of blood vessels running around our bodies to learn about and a breathtaking lung lesson to get through in this hour-long workshop.

Magnets are an essential part of our modern lives. They are in your phone, computer, car, and even your electric toothbrush. Young scientists will learn what makes magnets different from other hunks of iron and ceramic; this something most adults were never taught. The lessons are physically engaging and filled with exploration and experimentation. After learning the basics of how magnetism works, students will learn how to make a temporary magnet and be given some time to experiment and interact using magnets with a number of extra supplies. This interaction allows students to practice a few of the fundamental steps of the scientific method, primarily: sharing results and having their peers attempt to replicate them.

Thermal energy warms my heart... literally! In this workshop, we'll learn about how thermal energy moves through a system. Students will see some of the bizarre and awesome effects it can have in the world around us while learning its importance to our species. Using Schlieren imaging, students will get a visual demonstration of how changes in temperature affect air currents.
