Steam Lab at The Bob Bullock Museum

August 8 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm

Experience how Texans applied their math skills to comply with food rationing in World War II. Uncover the biological properties of chili peppers that make them a vital part of Texas cooking. Find out what exactly science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics have to do with Texas history!

On select Thursdays at STEAM Lab, students can drop in and explore the Bullock Museum, see demonstrations, and participate in hands-on activities with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) experts from Central Texas Discover Engineering and Museum Educators. STEAM Labs are FREE for all groups who have pre-registered for a Bullock Museum field trip, or are free with exhibit admission. Every STEAM Lab is different, and may include some of the following activities:
