NYC Fall

New Brooklyn Science Spot Brings Hands-On STEM Fun to Kids

How many can your family tick off before winter arrives? Complete the whole board and you’ve officially made the most of fall in NYC!

There’s a new place for curious kids to explore, experiment and get seriously hands-on with science. Brooklyn Science Spot is all about turning children’s natural curiosity into exciting real-world discoveries through experiments, building challenges, animal encounters and plenty of opportunities to ask “what if?” Created around the idea that science should be fun, interactive and accessible, Brooklyn Science Spot combines elements of a lab, museum and neighborhood hangout. Kids are encouraged to observe, test, build, mix and experiment while developing skills across science, technology, engineering, math, art and more. Families can sign up for weekly classes and after-school programs covering a wide range of STEM themes, with activities that might include building bridges, launching rockets, creating colorful chemical reactions, engineering structures or meeting live animals. The focus is firmly on learning by doing, so kids are actively involved rather than simply watching.

Brooklyn Science Spot also runs camps when school is out, including holiday break programs filled with experiments, building projects, creature encounters and themed science activities. Camps are grouped by age, giving kids the chance to spend their days exploring new ideas while having plenty of fun along the way. And if you’re looking for a birthday party with a difference, Brooklyn Science Spot offers science-themed celebrations too. Parties can include live animal encounters, interactive experiments and high-energy demonstrations, with the birthday child taking center stage as the “lead scientist.” With classes, camps and parties all under one roof, Brooklyn Science Spot is a brilliant new addition for Brooklyn families looking for fun, creative ways to keep young minds curious.
