Saturday Science Quest for Kids
Science comes alive for kids during our Saturday Science Quest program. This popular program provides K–8 children of all interests and abilities with opportunities to formulate questions, do hands-on science experiments, and act like scientists. The class instructors are often former classroom teachers who are currently science education doctoral students/candidates. Also, undergraduate education majors help support instruction and provide one-on-one attention for any child who may need it.
The program runs for five Saturday mornings (9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.) during fall and spring semesters. Topics change every semester. For information regarding previous topics, see our archived lesson plans. In the future there will be a shift to include aspects of engineering into various classes.
Tuition is $65 per child with a discounted price of $55 for each additional child from the same family also registering. There are a few scholarships available for students who meet certain criteria. For scholarship and registration information, contact Sara Sturgeon (see contact information below).
