STEAM Saturdays - Yogurt Making with SDSMT

  • Journey Museum & Learning Center 222 New York Street Rapid City, SD, 57701 United States (map)

Join us for STEAM Saturdays and get nerdy, goofy, and inquisitive with a blend of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

This month, The Journey Museum invites families to explore how everyday foods are made through fast-paced, hands-on science experiments. Each 30-minute session highlights real-world chemistry and biology all using familiar ingredients from the kitchen. These short-format sessions are perfect for curious learners of all ages and offer a fun introduction to how living organisms, heat, cooling, and structure work together in the foods we eat.  

Discover how good bacteria helps to create yogurt! SDSMT scientists lead a live demonstration on how heat, temperature control, and microbial action transform milk. Participants prepare their own yogurt starter jar, observe pH changes, and make predictions about the fermentation process. 

STEAM Saturdays are offered seasonally from October through April and are fun for the whole family. No need to pre-register, just bring your curiosity!

Morning Session: 10:30am - 11:00am

Afternoon Session: 2:00pm - 2:30pm

STEAM Saturdays are free with your daily admission or annual membership to the Journey Museum. Not a member? Become one today!
