may programs
We are hosting two programs in May 2022: Intro to Biology for grades 3-4 and Applied Geometry for 5-6.
Each workshop consists of lessons and hands-on activities (i.e. science experiments) for students to participate in. As a result, students are required to provide their own materials that will be used during the workshops.
Below is more information about each program. You may find the required materials for each workshop below as well.
