Our workshops emphasize critical thinking, curiosity driven exploration, an appreciation for the many approaches/processes used in science, awareness of the arc of science history and FUN! We are often told by teachers that students cheer when they learn they will have science that day and parents share that the most exciting dinner conversations of the week happen on science days at school. Our instructors: have fun, make a difference, continue to be lifelong learners.
General requirements: Our instructors are a blend of scientist, teacher and storyteller, personalized to the style and comfort of each individual instructor. Disciplines include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Earth Science.
