Summer Academy Sessions 2026!
Get ready for a summer of discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun at our Summer Academy.
Designed to spark curiosity and build confidence, our engaging programs let kids explore exciting science topics through experiments, projects, and interactive activities. Our 4-5-year class, 6-7-year class, and 8-10-year class programs run June 1st-July 31st (excluding June 29th-July 3rd), giving younger learners plenty of time to explore, build, and ask big questions. Our 11-13-year-old program runs June 1st-July 17th (also excluding June 29th-July 3rd), offering deeper challenges that encourage critical thinking and teamwork. Whether your child is a budding inventor or just loves to explore how the world works, this is a summer they won’t forget. They will gain a love for science that they will carry with them long after it ends.
