A Special Message to All Our ‘Junior Einsteins’ from the Incredible Steve Spangler!
At Junior Einsteins Science Club, we are passionate about bringing science to life in fun and exciting ways for children. So, imagine our delight when the legendary Steve Spangler, a world-renowned science educator, author, and TV personality, shared a message with our Junior Einsteins!
Steve Spangler, known for his innovative science experiments and his ability to make learning fun, gave a shout-out to all our budding young scientists—and introduced us to the awesome Marshmallow Gun experiment. What a treat for our Junior Einsteins to hear from such an inspiring figure in the STEM world!

Why Marshmallow Guns Are a Blast for STEM Learning
The Marshmallow Gun experiment isn’t just fun—it’s a brilliant way to introduce kids to the principles of air pressure, motion, and physics. With simple materials, children can build their own marshmallow launcher and learn how forces and pressure work together to create motion.
- Hands-On Fun: Kids love getting involved in building and testing their own marshmallow guns.
- STEM in Action: This activity brings science to life by demonstrating real-world applications of physics.
- Encouraging Creativity: Children can customize their marshmallow guns and explore ways to improve performance.
Experiments like these capture the essence of what we do at Junior Einsteins Science Club—making science engaging, interactive, and accessible for all children.
Steve Spangler’s Legacy in STEM Education
Steve Spangler has dedicated his career to inspiring a love of STEM learning. Known for his viral science experiments like the Mentos and Coke geyser and his appearances on TV shows, including The Ellen Show, Spangler’s work continues to make science exciting for kids and adults alike. His message to our Junior Einsteins is a testament to his commitment to nurturing the next generation of scientists and innovators.
Be Inspired: Create Your Own Marshmallow Gun
Why not try making your own marshmallow gun at home or in class? Here’s how:
- Gather simple materials like PVC pipes, connectors, and, of course, marshmallows.
- Follow along with Steve Spangler’s instructions in the video.
- Test your marshmallow launcher and experiment with how air pressure affects the distance and speed of the marshmallows.
This activity is perfect for children aged 6-12 and a great addition to STEM workshops, science parties, or even weekend fun!
