Sparking Science

Explore science through hands-on, inquisitive learning in a responsive, playful, exploratory environment! This 1 hour program is an experience for children and caregivers to explore materials and begin engaging in scientific behaviors. These open-ended activities based around scientific concepts allow you and your 2 to 4 year-old learner to engage in imaginative and educational play together. Each 1-hour session meets from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. (Friday or Saturday) in the Edison Room. We are so excited for you and your child to join us!
