Science Explorers Sessions

Mini Makers

November 10 - December 15, 2023 (No class 11/24)

Physical science is the study of stuff – what it’s made of, what it does, and how it changes. In this fun-filled physics session, we will explore physics and engineering! Science Explorers will ask questions while building, observing, testing, and more. If your child loves tinkering and experimenting, this is the session for them!

Cool Chemistry

January 12 - February 9, 2024

Using oobleck, slime, vinegar, baking soda, and more, we will see what makes chemistry so cool! Then we will try test exciting reactions such as diet Coke and Mentos, elephant’s toothpaste, and ice cream making. Science Explorers will conduct their investigations in this positively cool chemistry class.

Petite Picassos

February 16 - March 15, 2024

Let’s get crafty with DIY, test our tinkering, and make a mess in the art-themed class! Think like engineers as we experiment with the science behind our mixed-media art projects. Unleash your creativity in expressing newfound discovery with art that is sure to delight!

Boogie Down Biology

April 12 - May 10, 2024

This program is for animal enthusiasts! Budding biologists will have a chance to meet many of the animals at the CuriOdyssey zoo!
