5 February 2014 Genius Box

Who knew that Sam could have so much fun with cornstarch and water? Or make such a mess! This was one of the experiments that came in this month’s “genius box”: a really cool venture that AC helped crowdfund. Genius Box is a new company that offers a monthly-science kit subscription service. Once a month they send you a “genius box” filled with everything a kid needs to conduct several hands-on, STEM* experiments and projects. This month’s box is kitchen science-themed, and the experiment Sam did today centered around whether slime is a solid or a liquid?

Answer: it’s kinda both.

Sam’s reaction: LOVE
Mom’s reaction: ewww, but kudos to Genius Box for providing everything we needed and for making it fun. Already looking forward to next month’s box.

*STEM = the jargony acronym du jour for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
