SUMMARY:STEAM-tastic Activities @ the Spooky Mad Science Expo (All Ages; Drop-in)
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Saturday\, October 18\, 3-7pm\nCost: FREE\n(Drop-in; these are self-paced activities) \nDon’t miss the 10th year of the Spooky Mad Science Expo! This fantastic event brings together hundreds of curious minds for an afternoon of hands-on discovery\, eerie tech\, and Halloween-inspired science. Arrive at 2pm for the costume parade; the activities run from 3-7pm. The Expo is at Patrick Henry Recreation Center (4653 Taney Ave\, Alexandria VA 22304). \nDel Ray Artisans’ STEAM-tastic program is hosting two (!!) activities at the Expo: \nDatabending / Glitch Art – Del Ray Artisans introduces databending\, also known as glitch art! Older students will use a computer to edit an image file by corrupting its data through a technique known as .bmp image editing\, and then see their artwork projected on the wall. Younger students will personalize glitch art on paper. This hands-on activity is led by Steve Botts of Steve’s Art and Cacti. \nSpooky Automata Art Meets Engineering – Come make a fabulously spooky wing-flapping automata mechanical art toy at Del Ray Artisans’ STEAM-tastic tinker booth! Learn how cranks and cams work as you construct a mixed-media work of kinetic art that explores the wonder of things in motion\, up\, down and around! This hands-on activity is led by Victoria Walchak.\n \n\nSTEAM-tastic Program – Come join Del Ray Artisans for interactive classes about Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts and Math (STEAM)\, taught by professionals from each field! Geared toward youth\, each lesson has a short talk or demonstration and a hands-on project. Del Ray Artisans’ STEAM-tastic workshops and activities are made possible with support from the City of Alexandria through the FY2026 Annual Arts Program Grant.
