We have a great group of classes where you can learn about the world around you - and have fun doing it! Once again we are working with Mad Science to provide a wide variety of science classes to youth.
NASA Future Space Explorers - Ages 5-8 & Ages 9-12
From our Earth's atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system, this hands-on program for children ages 5-12 sends them on a quest for exploration! Comets, planets, stars and more are all waiting to be discovered. Learn about the four forces of flight, the challenges of space travel, and build a rocket and participate in a rocket launch! Come Explore the Galaxy with us and make a spectacular take-home project in every class. All explorers will learn about the scientific process and build their very own NASA space journal. An amazing journey awaits your little Mad Scientist. $5 material fee paid at class.

All Jr. Mad Scientists are invited to attend our Super Science workshop and investigate the world of physical science. Build your own periscope while learning about optical illusions, reflection and sight. Investigate the powers and daily uses of magnets. Test for electro-magnetic fields and then use what you have learned to build your own floating magnet set. Witness a mini rocket launch while learning the properties of heat. Turn solid candy into floss and make your very own cotton candy that you can eat!

Mad Science Spy Academy - Ages 7-9 and 10-12
Calling All Secret Agents!
Look out 007-the Mad Science Spy Academy is in session. Your junior Mad Scientists will step into the shoes of a detective and uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis. From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, students will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and even create their own edible message! They will use the Secret Code Breaker to communicate stealthily, like real spies. They'll figure out the science of forensics and become a super spy, by learning clever ways of performing tasks using science just like the spies use. Using powers of observations and the Inspectikit, our young forensic scientists will have all they need to get started on their detective adventure. $5 material fee paid at first class.
