Each day will focus on different STEM topics including geology (including jewelry making), horticulture (tour of the Hahn Horticulture Garden) and engineering (design build activities).
Since a majority of our time will be in a lab setting the child must wear long pants (or skirt to the ankle) and close-toed shoes. We will also be moving around campus so please make sure your shoes are comfortable and plan on being on your feet the entire time.
Snacks will not be provided however we will take a 15-minute break around 10:30 am so that students can eat a quick snack outside and use the restroom. We encourage kids to bring a water bottle.
If you are in need of a scholarship, please contact Kristy Collins to receive a discount code. Scholarships are available for students whose parents indicate they have a financial need.
