Raising Three Savvy Ladies

NYC Lifestyle Blog

January 8, 2015 //

Liberty Science Center’s New Infinity Climber & Family 4 Pack #Giveaway

 Thank you to my writer, Kerry for attending on behalf on Raising 3 Savvy Ladies.

Recently, I had an opportunity to visit the Liberty Science Center for a meet and greet with Melissa Gorga from the Real Housewives of New Jersey and an opportunity to check out the new Infinity Climber.  A visit to the Liberty Science is always a special treat for my son and he and my nieces were excited to have an opportunity to try out the Infinity Climber.

The “Infinity Climber” is a free-form, three dimensional, multi-story climbing structure created for children. Designed by Spencer Luckey, the sculpture is made out of bent plywood platforms that are suspended by steel pipes and cables. Located in the large atrium of the Liberty Science Center, visitors have the opportunity to climb, crawl, and balance through this extraordinary experience in a safe, but physically challenging environment designed to promote sensorimotor learning.liberty_1

We checked in a bit early and were given our wristbands for the events.  While we were waiting for the event to begin, we were able to wander around the museum and visit some of the exhibitions.  The Science Center is hosting a Rubik’s Cube exhibit and a table was setup in the lobby where the kids were able to play with some Rubik’s Cube pieces.  We also visited some robotic surgery machinery and watched a video about how doctors now use robots to perform surgery on patients.  There was an interactive portion to this exhibit where the kids were able to put on special 3D glasses and manipulate the robot to simulate surgery.

We then went upstairs to the room where the event was to take place.  We had a lovely lunch and then were treated to special interactive stations in the presentation room.  The children were able to make snow!  They put on lab coats and goggles and mixed chemicals in test tubes.  Then, viola, snow!

One of the scientists then brought a selection of animals for the children to meet and learn about.  They saw a bearded dragon, tarantula, a hissing cockroach and some others.  The children were excited to ask questions about the animals and get a chance to touch them.  I was so impressed by the intelligent questions the children asked and how gentle they were with the animals.

 

The last demonstration used dry ice.  Again, the children, regardless of their age, were so engaged in what was happening.  Smoke always helps to hold their attention!  Again, the children asked and answered so many great question.

Next, it was time to go with Melissa and her children and have an opportunity to try out the new Infinity Climber.  We were escorted to the Infinity Climber which holds a place of prominence in the museum.  The Infinity Climber is a suspended multi-story place space.  It allows both adults and children alike to climb, crawl and balance as they move along 64 petal-like platforms.  At its peak, climbers are suspended 25 feet above the atrium floor.  After Melissa and her children did some exploring, the rest of the group was invited to join the fun.  Kids and adults alike climbed up, down and around the structure.  Melissa wore a body camera to capture the climbers in action!  Everyone seemed to have a great time climbing.  I had a hard time getting my son and nieces to exit the climber.  Everytime I thought they were heading for the exit, they changed directions and went for another climb.  The Infinity Climber is truly a 21st Century play experience.  The great part is that every experience is different and allows climbers to use their imagination and blaze their own path.

 

After our climbing adventure, we went back to the presentation room, where Melissa posed for photos and thanked us all for visiting the Liberty Science Center and taking the opportunity to experience the Infinity Climber with her family.

A great time was had by all.

We have a Family 4 Pack of Tickets for one lucky reader to go to Liberty Science Center and experience the new Infinity Climber.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
