In collaboration with STEAM Sneakerheadz™, our patrons experienced a one-of-a-kind summer reading program that proved science isn’t just in textbooks — it’s everywhere around us!
With expert help from Ky the Chemist, we created custom tie-dye shoelaces while exploring the science of color through both natural and synthetic dyes. We experimented with plant-based materials alongside traditional dyeing techniques to compare how different substances interact with fabric. We saw, firsthand, how chemistry is fun, fresh, and totally hands-on!
