Throughout the month\, families can explore a featured artistic theme with special materials\, collaborative projects\, and hands-on activities.

One material\, endless possibilities! \nOctober Theme: Nature Prints \nCelebrate the textures of fall by creating art with leaves\, corn cobs\, bark\, and other natural materials.

SUMMARY:Tech Trek: Fall 2026 Session Begins
DESCRIPTION:Tech Trek introduces children (grades 1-5) to the world of technology through interactive projects and imaginative play. Our program is specifically designed for elementary-aged learners to build 21st Century skills like collaboration\, communication\, and creativity. We combine hands-on technologies and unplugged activities for a fun introduction to tech concepts. \nDuring Tech Trek\, your child will have the opportunity to tinker\, create\, and problem-solve. We use programmable robots\, 3D printers\, coding games\, and more to give kids a glimpse into the exciting careers that are possible in the tech industry. With Tech Trek\, kids learn through play as they tackle educational and engaging projects. \nOne of the things that makes Tech Trek so special is that it’s completely hands-on. Kids explore the inner workings of technology and use their creativity and curiosity to come up with their own solutions to challenges. Tech Trek is also unique in that it includes time for kids to explore museum exhibits. \nSkills we explore: basic coding concepts\, program development\, circuitry\, internet safety \nTools we use and love: BeeBot programmable robots\, Lego WeDo\, Makey Makey invention kits\, Snap Circuits\, Finch Robot 2.0\, Cubelets robot blocks\, 3D printer\, CoDrone educational drones \n\nSchedule: This session is 6 weeks long and meets on Wednesday afternoons from 3:15 to 5:30 pm. To accommodate school release and travel time\, we offer a flexible drop-off period and free play in the museum between 3:15 and 4:00 before moving into project-based learning time. \nFall 2026 session meets: Oct. 14 21\, 28 Nov. 4\, 11\, 18 \nCost: $180 per session (sessions meet weekly for six weeks). Pre-registration is required. \nWho This Program is For: Children in Grades 1-5. This enrichment program is built on the use of laptops\, so children need to have some experience with a laptop. This includes being able to power it on and off\, as well as manipulate a mouse/touchpad. This program also helps build computer literacy skills\, so typing skills are not necessary! \nOther Program Details \n\nClass size is a maximum of 12 students.\nOur learning environment will include exhibits at The Iowa Children’s Museum as well as our classroom space.\nCaregivers are asked to bring a reusable water bottle for their child each day. Snacks will not be provided.\nExtended care (before 3:15 or after 5:30 PM) is not available at this time

SUMMARY:Sensory Friendly Halloween
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Halloween-themed Sensory Friendly Night! This free event offers sensory-friendly activities in a calmer environment and opportunities to collect treats in our museum exhibits. Costumes are encouraged (but not required!) as you look for our “treat stations” throughout the museum. All treats will be small non-food items to avoid allergy concerns. We will also have not-too-spooky Halloween activities. \nPLEASE NOTE: To help us maintain a calm\, sensory-friendly environment for all guests\, we ask any groups to contact us before attending. Depending on expected attendance\, we may need to limit group size or recommend another time to visit. \nSensory Friendly Nights are presented by GreenState Credit Union. \nView all of our Halloween events!
