Have you ever heard of Drone Soccer??

For the Harry Potter fans, it's kind of like Quidditch but with drones!

For those who haven't seen Harry Potter... you should watch it! But more importantly, drone soccer is a real sport where teams fly drones through the air, score goals, and try to outmaneuver the competition. And at our upcoming Drone Lab, you’ll get to hear all about it from a drone soccer expert!

📅 September 12
🕑 10 AM–12 PM
📍 702 W. Main St., Genoa

This lab is for K-8th students and no registration is required!

📸 Check out these pics from our Reaction In Action Lab!

Last Saturday, we visited J6 Polymers, where inventors got a tour of the actual plant and learned what polymers are and what they're used for. Turns out some of the material made right here in our own backyard ends up on really awesome spacecraft! 😱

Then we got into the experiments. Elephant toothpaste 🐘, the iodine clock reaction⏱️, flaming gummy bears🔥, and a liquid polymer that turned solid right in front of them.

A huge thank you to the team at J6 Polymers for opening your doors and sharing your expertise!

We hope to see everyone back for our upcoming Drone Lab!

On Tuesday evening, the ladies behind The Inventor's Lab of Genoa IL - STEM Club were recognized at the annual Women to Watch award ceremony hosted by Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie at the Jarrett Prairie Center in Byron.

Hannah, Alex, Madeleine, and Eva from Custom Aluminum Products, Inc. along with Jen and Pattie from the Genoa Public Library District were among the honorees recognized and celebrated for making an impact in their respective communities.

We had so much fun at National Night Out last week!

We had a great time showing everyone how a chemical reaction can turn liquid into edible boba.🧋

Want to see more cool experiments like this? Come to our next event, Reaction In Action Lab, on August 22nd. We will be touring J6 Polymers, a facility right here in Genoa that makes the foam for rockets, ships, and more.🚀🛳️
