🔬 First Program Summer Camp Recap 國小夏令營精彩回顧 | Little Scientists & Big Experiments – Wonderlab 小小科學家・奇妙實驗室 For the past two weeks, our WonderLab scientists have discovered that science isn't just something you read about—it's something you experience! 過去兩週，WonderLab 的小小科學家們透過一系列精彩的動手實驗，親身體驗科學的魅力，發現科學不只是課本上的知識，更是一場充滿探索與驚喜的旅程！ Through exciting hands-on experiments, students explored the fascinating world of science by creating oobleck, engineering foil boats to hold as many marbles as possible, and inflating balloons using chemical reactions. Every activity encouraged them to observe, make predictions, test their ideas, and discover the "why" behind each experiment. 孩子們從製作神奇的非牛頓流體、挑戰鋁箔船承重，到利用化學反應讓氣球膨脹，在每一次實驗中學習觀察、提出假設、動手驗證，並一步步找出答案。 More importantly, our young scientists learned that curiosity is the heart of
