# Event Details - **Event Name**: Hands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science-Ecosystem in a Cup- FREE - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm - **Event Description**: Discover producers, consumers, and decomposers by building an edible soil cup with pudding and gummy worms in this STEM session!About this EventHands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science- Ecosystem in a Cup!Hosted by N.E. LOVE EMPOWERGet ready to dig into real ecology, one organism at a time! In this hands-on STEM workshop, students will observe a real plant, insect, and earthworm up close, then work together to build a shared edible soil-layer model showing how producers, consumers, and decomposers all depend on each other.This highly interactive lab makes abstract science concepts easy to see, measure, and understand. Perfect for curious minds who love hands-on science and creative exploration. Don't miss this exciting STEM adventure!? What Participants Will Learn● Think like a scientist by observing, drawing, and recording a real producer, consumer, and decomposer● Explain what a niche is and describe the niche each organism plays in its ecosystem● Connect producer, consumer, and decomposer roles to real Florida ecosystems● Work together to build a shared edible soil-layer model showing all three roles? Participants Will:● Magnifying glass observation and drawing of a real mint plant, insect, and worm● Think Like a Scientist: Florida Connection discussion● Producers, consumers, and decomposers sorting review with Florida organisms● Build-the-food-cup-together group activity● Take home a deeper understanding of how producers, consumers, and decomposers depend on each other to keep an ecosystem healthy? NGSS AlignmentThis workshop aligns with the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):MS-LS2-3:Soil ecosystems, the niche each organism fills as a producer, consumer, or decomposer, and how these roles show up in real Florida ecosystems.Science & Engineering Practice: Developing and Using ModelsCrosscutting Concept: Systems and System Models - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/plantation/hands-on-stem-workshop-creepy-crawly-science-ecosystem-in-a-cup-free/100001997233704775 - **Event Categories**: fitness, science-fair, Workshops, Art, fine-arts, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - Duration: 2 hours - Location: West Regional Library - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Plantation - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: West Regional Library - **lat**: 26.1215543 - **long**: -80.26166500000001 - **full address**: West Regional Library, 8601 West Broward Boulevard, Plantation, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science-Ecosystem in a Cup- FREE - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/9ab4ff0b33c71b6e45081187e01b7cd49a8ca164bb01f45599997b743e6ba756-rimg-w1080-h1080-dcf8f8e8-gmir.jpg?v=1786363507 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science-Ecosystem in a Cup- FREE being held? - **A:** Hands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science-Ecosystem in a Cup- FREE takes place on Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm at West Regional Library, 8601 West Broward Boulevard, Plantation, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Hands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science-Ecosystem in a Cup- FREE? - **A:** Hands-On STEM Workshop: Creepy Crawly Science-Ecosystem in a Cup- FREE is organized by N.
