Science Explorers offers an innovative, hands-on approach to science, making learning cool and exciting for children through interactive programs.
Science Explorers offers engaging, hands-on STEM summer camps for children aged 4-11, fostering curiosity and a lifelong passion for science through experimentation, collaboration, discovery, and creation. Campers participate in diverse activities such as dissecting real sharks and squid, building rockets and nano-rovers, designing model space stations, and constructing space capsules for "eggstronauts." They also delve into chemistry by making slime, creating fizzing concoctions, and exploring chemical reactions. Other activities include investigating butterflies, experimenting with magnets, crafting spy gadgets, decoding hidden messages, and engaging in engineering challenges like building motorized robots and tall towers. These immersive experiences aim to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun and interactive environment, preparing children for future STEM endeavors.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments and wild discoveries, with half-day camps running from 9am-12pm and full-day camps from 9am-3:30pm or 9am-4pm.
The ideal student is curious about how the world works, loves to get their hands dirty, and has an interest in science, technology, engineering, or math.
