This year’s French Quarter Festival boasted a record-breaking
attendance of 733,000, making it the largest free music festival in the
country. GRFA, in partnership with
title sponsor Chevron, was there to provide unique art making experiences at
the STE(A+)M Zone (science, technology, engineering, art, and math).
With projects designed to inspire scientific inquiry and
creativity, GRFA welcomed over 3,000 visitors! Activities included:
Activity 1: Gak
Attack
Is it a solid? A liquid? Just what is this squishy stuff? All kids love slime! This fun science
experiment allows kids to create their own “gak” while learning about primary
colors and the science of color mixing.
Activity 2: Fabulous
Frogs
Over 20 varieties of frogs call Louisiana home! Through this creative printmaking
project, kids learn about the unique anatomy and habitat of these amazing
amphibians. From powerful legs to lightning fast tongues, the marvelous features
of frogs and the animal kingdom are investigated.
Thank you to Chevron and everyone who stopped by to do an activity with us! We had a great time this year at the Chevron STE(A+)M Zone and
look forward to sharing engaging projects at next year’s French Quarter
Festival!
