STEM at the Library: Magnetic Slime

at Olney Library

Join us for a messy afternoon making magnetic slime!

You may have made slime before, but have you ever made MAGNETIC slime?

Join us for a messy and fun afternoon learning about magnetism and making magnetic slime. This hands-on program will provide children with the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve a result. 

Nitrile gloves will be provided upon request. Due to the nature of the slime, participants will not be able to take the slime home after the program.

This program is designed for children 6 years old and up. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.

Due to limited supplies, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

We will provide all the materials for this program. Generously funded by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
