Our After-School Science Clubs offer students a fun and enriching science experience one day a week. Club activities are designed to enhance topics or skills that students are learning in school. Each session includes homework help, snack time, exhibit exploration and theme-related science experiments.

Each After-School Science Club is designed with age-appropriate curriculum and investigations. Students that enroll every year can eventually join the Science Career Ladder by becoming a Club Captain, facilitating activities in the Young Explorers Club, and developing important work skills.
