Join us for STEAM Saturdays and get nerdy, goofy, and inquisitive with a blend of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. This month, The Journey Museum invites families to explore how everyday foods are made through fast-paced, hands-on science experiments. Each 30-minute session highlights real-world chemistry and biology all using familiar ingredients from the kitchen. These short-format sessions are perfect for curious learners of all ages and offer a fun introduction to how living organisms, heat, cooling, and structure work together in the foods we eat. Discover the science behind one of the oldest food-making techniques! In this high-energy session, families shake jars of heavy cream to explore how emulsions work and how mechanical force can transform a liquid into a solid. Participants observe each stage—from cream to whipped cream to butter—and learn how agitation breaks an emulsion to create a brand-new food. A fun, hands-on investigation into chemistry, structure, and the surprising ways we engineer everyday ingredients.
