Sweet Science: The Science of Crystals

What do quartz, geodes, snowflakes and diamonds have in common? They’re all crystals—and they’re created through fascinating natural processes!

Join TRIO STEM-H for a hands-on exploration of Earth Science and Chemistry as we uncover how crystals form in nature. Then put your knowledge to work by creating your own rock candy crystal-growing experiment and seeing crystallization happen right before your eyes.

Come curious, get hands-on and discover how the science behind everyday wonders can inspire a future in STEM.
