Wow. Just WOW. We knew S.T.E.M. Day at Half Pint Co. would be fun, but we had no idea it would shatter our attendance record!
Families packed into Arbeiter Brewing Co. for an afternoon of hands-on science and discovery, and Pete the Beertending Scientist absolutely rocked it with his mind-blowing demonstrations. From colorful experiments to engineering challenges, kids and grown-ups alike dove into a day filled with learning, laughter, and just the right amount of controlled chaos.

S.T.E.M. Superstars
We prepped for over 100 kids—our usual safe number—but you all showed up big time. Sadly, supplies for the balloon-powered car activity ran out about halfway through the event, and the lava lamp experiment followed some 40 minutes later. We've never run out of supplies before—talk about next-level engagement!
With this kind of energy, S.T.E.M. Day is now officially our most-attended event EVER, knocking Boo 'n' Brew Bash off its long-held throne. (Don't worry, spooky season—your time will come again.)

More Fun, More Time, More Supplies!

This year, we extended our events to noon to 4 p.m. instead of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the extra hour has made an enormous difference. More time means more families can participate, and we're stepping up our game with increased interest in our events.
Starting now, we'll prepare for 200 kids per event to ensure everyone gets in on the fun. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that our community is all in when it comes to playing, learning, and making memories together.
We love everyone who came out and give extra high-fives to our volunteers, families, and, of course, Pete the Beertending Scientist! You all made this day unforgettable.
