Junior Scientist Fun Lab; Entering Pre-K to K
Preschoolers discover science as they become Junior Mad Scientists! This camp is a great introduction to science as preschoolers explore the human body and our senses, the science of colors and the way things move. Children become palaeontologists by searching for fossils in a mini dinosaur dig. They also take an exciting mission with Mad Science to explore the planets, moons and stars. Junior Scientists continue the science at home with take-home projects related to each subject.
Eureka! Invention; Entering grades 1-5
An exciting program where children explore famous inventors such as Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Archimedes, Ben Franklin and even Rube Goldberg, along with the contributions each made to science, engineering and society. Guided by our Mad Scientist, children use their knowledge and creativity to overcome a series of challenges using basic materials, simple machines, tips from famous inventors and the most important of all - their minds! While Thomas Edison said "invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration," this program is 100% FUN!
