Gas exploding, robots racing, and bubbles bursting—it was an unforgettable night of discovery on January 23rd! Jefferson Elementary transformed into a giant laboratory for Mad Science, an interactive night of hands-on learning for our students and families.
Presented in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle and the Jefferson PTA, the evening was all about "learning by doing."
Highlights of the Night:
The Bernoulli Effect: Students learned about air pressure and lift using... a leaf blower and toilet paper! 
Physics in Motion: Families built towers to explore gravity and balance, and even took a ride on a hovercraft!
Chemistry & Robotics: From watching dry ice create bubbling cauldrons to navigating remote-controlled robots, our future scientists were in their element.
Why It Matters
"The Mad Science program encouraged students to think, ask questions, and experiment," said third-grade teacher Aimee Ferguson. "By providing hands-on experiences, we continue to foster a love of science while bringing our community together through shared discovery."
"It inspired me to do science at home and make a robot!" — Olivia, 3rd Grade 
Events like this make science meaningful, accessible, and—most importantly—FUN! A huge thank you to everyone who came out to build, test, and discover with us.
