SLIME - Students of Long Island Maker Expo

From recyclables to robotics, celebrating 21st century learning for all Long Island students.

WHAT'S SLIME?

SLIME is an interactive day of making for family and educators from all across Long Island. Hands-on learning activities from recyclables to robotics promote critical thinking and problem solving skills necessary for our children to participate in the global community. We anticipate over 100 activities, demonstrations, presentations and speakers.

SLIME is brought to you by Long Island LEADS, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation.

"Making isn’t new. Why then should we celebrate a designated National Week of Making? Why are maker spaces and maker faires cropping up everywhere from schools to libraries to museums, and even in community spaces? Creativity, progress, and innovation are all qualities that make us who we are. When we say 'I made this' or 'I have an idea,' we are making a contribution to the world."
