Get ready to join The Scientific Center in its best kind science-based after-school program! With two courses available for ages 6 to 12, your children can take their love for science and continue the learning fun after school!

Children who love science will be introduced to science-based concepts and have them apply these concepts through a series of challenges and hands-on activities.

Starting April 22nd, children can come in once a week in the afternoon hours on Mondays and Thursdays to supplement their learning with curriculum based topics that encourage them to feed their passion for science.
