Carnegie Science Center and GlaxoSmithKline and are teaming up once again to offer Science in the Summer for the tenth consecutive year, a program that provides free science education to students at local libraries across the region. This program is for kids who are going into second grade through kids who are going into 6th grade.
Science in the Summer programs, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, will begin the week of June 18. The hour-long classes will occur over a period of four consecutive days; students must be available to attend all four days due to the nature of the curriculum.
This year’s topic is physical science and electricity. Participating students will receive safety glasses, lab aprons, and activity books to keep. At the end of the four-day session, kids will receive a certificate of completion at a ceremony that parents and families are invited to attend.
