Virtual Fun with Fluorescence

Maryland STEM Festival 2020

Come learn how to transform common household objects into glow-in-the-dark creations. Create your own blacklight and see fun ideas to test the fluorescence of items in your home!

Join us for this virtual event and practice making your own blacklight with common household items! Hear about fun crafts you can do with your new blacklight, and see a tour of our glowing room. If you'd like to follow along making a blacklight, please have red or purple and blue markers, clear tape, and a flashlight available(you can use your grownups phone flashlight also). It will be more fun to have yellow, orange, and/or green highlighters and white paper with you. The First 30 registration can come pick up  supply package( we will email the instructions on how to pick it up) 

A raffle will be drawn from registrants to win one of ten DIY blacklight activity kits. You are welcome to dress up with your favorite Halloween costume.
