SUMMARY:See the World's Smallest Tops - Magnifier Provided!
DESCRIPTION:Come take a little look at the world’s SMALLEST toy tops! They are smaller than a pencil’s eraser\, and one is as small as the head of a pin. A magnifying glass is provided to take an even closer “close-up” look. These amazing tiny tops are of 3 different materials. \n–PLUS try out 6 other\, fun\, regular-size spinning tops while here: a spin challenge\, see an optical effect\, and use rotation\, gravity\, friction\, momentum: all science in action: turning with fun!\n–This mini-event is held in the Spinning Top & Yo-Yo Museum’s TOY/GIFT shop\, which is open after you see the tiny tops! \nSee other workshops scheduled here that day\, try the FREE Find the Faces in the Hidden Picture Puzzle Window outside\, enjoy downtown historic Burlington. \nCheck out more events at the Spinning Top & Yo-Yo Museum and the Logic Puzzle Museum!

SUMMARY:Badger Talk - ACORNS (Activities for Community Outreach in STEM)
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, in-person talk hosted on October 17\, 2026 at 1:00 PM by Iron Ridge Public Library in Iron Ridge\, WI. Registration is encouraged\, but not required. More info to come on how to register. There will be no virtual option for this event. This event is a part of the Wisconsin Science Festival!\n\nStudies show that feelings of belonging are the number one indicator of retention in STEM. The ability of students to see themselves in STEM spaces is crucial to building this sense of belonging. At the same time\, students are only able to envision themselves as scientists in as much as they are doing science. An ACORNS program is a highly interactive\, tactile STEM-themed activity. These could include modeling planet formation with ice cream and cookies\, exploring stellar fusion with the ingredients of s’mores\, and measuring the speed of light using a chocolate bar.\n\nThis shift from a lecture-style format to a hands-on\, student-led dialogue allows for an immersive STEM experience\, highlighting both that science can be fun\, accessible\, and messy\, but also that anyone is capable of doing it\, regardless of expertise. Science is a state of mind\, defined by curiosity–and every person has plenty of that.\n\nZach Lewis is a graduate student in astronomy at UW-Madison. His research focuses on the evolution of elements inside galaxies. He uses JWST observations of distant galaxies to characterize how stars produce elements and eject them into their host galaxy\, and how those elements then escape the galaxy or form new stars.

SUMMARY:Rube Goldberg Build Session with Illustrator Ed Steckley
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Deforest Public Library for a morning of fun building with award winning illustrator Ed Steckley! \nAll you need is a good imagination and a pile of junk to start inventing! Ed comes prepared supplying the pile of junk; an entire truck load! \nStudents will engage in hands-on building utilizing common everyday objects\, often seen in Rube Golderg projects. Ed helps visualize possible solutions\, alternative solutions\, and potential roadblocks to the build. \nParticipants will experience the necessity of trial & error firsthand\, with the ultimate takeaway of learning from failure.
