Top 12 Summer Workshops 

These school-age workshops have proven to be the most popular for fun, hands-on science during the summer. We tone down the education while we turn up the fun - but your kids will still learn a lot!

School-age workshops are for ages 6 and up and last one hour. Up to 25 kids per workshop. $139 for a single workshop or $125 each if we perform the same workshop multiple times a day.
