Can you make crystals with ingredients from your pantry?  Learn about nucleation and supercooling as we deep dive into the science of crystal making.  Gather sugar, water, a jar, a stick, a clothespin, a spoon, a cooking pot and a thermometer for this challenge with YELL 2020 teen intern Sophia. Adult supervision strongly recommended.

In response to feedback from our Black community and staff, we updated the original name STEM Challenge Yo’Self to STEM Challenge on July 19, 2021. We recognize the original title is appropriated from Black vernacular and perpetuates racism, and has caused harm to our Black/BIPOC community members and staff. Our library is working towards being an anti-racist institution and committed to doing better.
