Stations included Build-an-Arch, which prompted students to build a parabolic ach out of foam blocks; a 3D printer, which allowed students to watch as the printer created a 3D model; Buzz Wire, challenging students to pass a loop over a bent wire without touching the two; Music Maker, which invited students to create their own music by pressing buttons and working together; and Bop-A-Light, which asked students to press a lit-up button. They were also able to touch a Plasma Sphere, play with programmable robots to draw on iPads and experience ferrofluid.
