Science camps
We have developed several new science camp topics that may be of interest to your students. These camps have been tested in after school and summer science camps with great success.
The astrobiology quest
Help your students unfold the mystery about the Martian Mummies! What did they look like? How were they related? What did they eat? Astrobiology is science on the edge of extremes.
It's a dog's life
Someone's trying to poison Dooley the Dog and it's up to the student scientists to find such a hard-hearted fiend! This forensic camp looks at "crime" evidence to determine the guilty party.
