Simply a great way to experience science for the first time.......

Our "Sidewalk Science" brings unique hands-on STEM experiences to the outdoors of your neighborhood in a safe and nurturing environment. Come and discover the wonderful world of chemistry, biology, physics, climate, weather, ecology and much more, and learn how you can make a difference in your community using science as "a way of life".

Your journey as a future science begins with our "Explorers" program, and once you have grasped the basics concepts you will graduate to our "Intermediate" level. 

No prior experience necessary, just a love for learning and exploring the natural world, and most importantly having fun! So bring your ideas and passion for learning, and be a future leader in science.
