Fall 2025 After School Programs
For years educators have stressed that students learn better "by doing" - especially in the sciences. Students of all ages learn more science-content and skills when they engage in investigation and discovery using everyday materials and the basic equipment of science. Our carefully designed inquiry-based lessons involve children with hands-on activities, capturing children's natural curiosity, stimulating their interest in science, and teaching them important science topics along with critical thinking skills. Our clubs also support the current initiative of STEM education.
As students head back to school this fall, we are excited to be running after school programs in select Howard County Public Schools through Rec & Parks. Each science enrichment session lasts for 6 classes Classes meet once a week for 1 hour.
