Girl Scouts will dive into the world of creativity and invention at Spark!Lab,the hands-on invention and innovation space where every visitor becomes an inventor. Located inside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, SparkLab offers an engaging environment filled with tools, materials, and challenges designed to spark curiosity and inspire big ideas.
During their visit, Girl Scouts will move at their own pace through a series of interactive stations. With guidance from Spark!Lab facilitators, Scouts will have the opportunity to brainstorm, design, build, test, and improve their own creative inventions. Along the way, they will collaborate with one another, experiment with a variety of materials, and learn to think like inventors as they bring their ideas to life. In addition to visiting Spark!Lab, Girl Scouts will rotate between an invention exhibition and a surprise additional activity (think like sharktank)! By the end of the program, Girl Scouts will not only gain confidence in their inventive identity, but they will also have completed all the requirements to earn the Create and Innovate badge. Girl Scouts will leave Spark!ab with their badge in hand!
