SUMMARY:STEAM Lab: Bump It! Set It! Spike It!
DESCRIPTION:March is here\, and Asheville is buzzing with high-energy action! As the Southern Conference (SoCon) volleyball frenzy sweeps through town\, we’re diving into the thrilling science behind the sport.\nJoin AMOS in the STEAM Lab this month and get ready to discover how our bodies move when we play. Ever wonder about the physics behind a perfectly aimed set\, the force behind a crushing spike\, or the body mechanics of a diving dig? From Newton’s Laws to mastering momentum\, we are uncovering the “how” behind the hits. Join us all month long to explore how science helps us play smarter\, jump higher\, and spike harder!\nLet’s get technical—and active—this March!

SUMMARY:STEAM Lab: Making Do
DESCRIPTION:This summer the STEAM Lab is chock full of projects\, experiments\, and open-ended activities that challenge us to make and do with recyclables\, everyday familiar objects\, and what we would normally consider “scrap” materials.  \nExplore how scientists\, engineers\, artists\, and everyday community members reduce\, reuse\, and “upcycle” in their work and daily lives. Help us make a community tapestry with binary code\, carefully construct your own scale model\, invent a new toy\, take risks\, or even turn the STEAM Lab into a recycling center!  \nThese activities will run all month long and will get better and more ambitious as kids and adults work together to build miraculous things!  \nSTEAM Lab is open during regular AMOS operating hours pending any special closures. Facilitated experiences occur on Saturdays with AMOS Educators. For more information on STEAM Lab programming call our Front Desk at 828-254-7162.

SUMMARY:AMOS Family Workshops: STEAM Advent Calendars
DESCRIPTION:Join us at AMOS for a special workshop to kick off the holiday season- STEAM Advent Calendars!\nMakers of all ages can work together to create their own unique STEAM themed advent calendars full of curious treats and treasures provided by the museum. Design\, decorate\, and create your own countdown calendars that reflect your own STEAM interests!\n\nWhat will yours look like? The periodic table?  Dinosaurs? Space facts? Engineering experiments and art? Why not all of the above?!\n\nThen swap them out with your friends and family and work with AMOS educators to stock them with treats and gifts that will keep you full of surprises for the rest of the month!\n\nTicket prices are $15 per person\, and $7 for AMOS members. Each ticket includes an advent calendar (plus gifts and treats) and all day admission to the museum.\n\nPurchase your tickets here!\n\nFAQ’s\nCan I leave my child unattended? \nNo. All children must have at least one caregiver present in the workshop. \nCan I purchase a ticket just for my child/children?  \nEveryone in your group who is 3+ or otherwise participating in the workshop will need to purchase a ticket. Family workshops are specially designed to cultivate curiosity and play for all individuals. Families will work together and be guided by an AMOS facilitator\, with each family member taking home a unique creation! \nWhat’s the ratio of child/adult? \nWe ask for a 3:1 ratio at the museum at all times. \n  \nFor any additional questions about our upcoming workshop\, please contact edu@ashevillescience.org.  \n
