Summer STEAM Adventures
Summer STEAM Adventures
June 1–July 31 | Included with Museum Admission
This summer, curiosity takes center stage at the Museum! Through July 31, families can dive into hands-on experiences designed to spark imagination, fuel discovery, and inspire a lifelong love of learning through S.T.E.A.M.—Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
Every visit offers something new. Tuesdays through Sundays, explore rotating themes featuring engineering, chemistry, history, backyard science, and more through interactive activities, discovery carts, games, story times, curator encounters, and rare opportunities to get up close with objects from the Museum’s collections.
Whether you’re building, experimenting, creating, or exploring, Summer STEAM Adventures invites learners of all ages to discover just how exciting science and history can be.
Generously sponsored by H-E-B Tournament of Champions, Flint Hills Resources, and Rally Credit Union.
S.T.E.A.M. Week
Get ready to imagine, create, and innovate! From coding challenges and creative design projects to hands-on art and engineering activities, S.T.E.A.M. Week celebrates the power of curiosity and creativity. Explore how science and art work together to shape our world—and maybe invent something entirely new along the way.
Backyard Science Week
Adventure is waiting right outside your door. Become a nature detective as you create your own field journal, design an insect, test your skills at the Bird Beak Buffet challenge, and uncover the incredible science hidden in South Texas backyards. Perfect for young explorers who love the outdoors.
Chemistry Week
Expect exciting reactions around every corner! Discover the science behind colorful chemical changes, extract DNA from strawberries, launch volcanic eruptions, and experiment with the building blocks of the world around us. It’s a week full of surprises, discovery, and hands-on fun.
Engineering Week
Dream it. Design it. Build it. Put your problem-solving skills to the test with robotics, circuits, engineering challenges, and hands-on design activities. Explore how engineers tackle real-world problems and create the innovations that power our daily lives.
History Week
Travel through time and discover the stories that shaped Texas and beyond. Try your hand at leather branding, create maps like early explorers, experiment with pictographs, and uncover fascinating connections to the people, places, and events that made history.
Summer STEAM Adventures are included with regular Museum admission—no registration required. Museum members enjoy free admission and unlimited opportunities to explore, create, experiment, and discover all summer long.
Come once, or come back again and again—every visit is a new adventure.
