9:30-10 AM
Sensory-Friendly Start
10–11:30 AM
Higher-Energy Toddler Engineering Lab
A hands-on engineering play lab where tiny scientists can experiment with simple machines, build their own creations, and see what happens. Toddlers can explore pulleys, levers, wheels, and ramps through movement, problem-solving, and plenty of open-ended play.
Building challenges will be available for children who want them, but there’s no single right way to do science play. Toddlers are welcome to build, test, repeat, observe, or simply follow whatever catches their curiosity. Is it the bubbles? It’s usually the bubbles.
Designed by Bright Sparks Fellow Sarina as her fellowship project, with the sensory science experience led by Fabi, our STEM educator.
This event is free, thanks to support from First 5 Santa Clara County. Optional take-home science kits and Bright Sparks shirts will be available for purchase, with proceeds supporting future sensory experiences in our community.
