Education Programming at Your Site
Let ScienceWorks come to you!
Our outreach program brings ScienceWorks educators right to your classroom or community event. We offer a variety of science demonstrations and hands-on workshops that inspire and educate.
Hands-On Workshops: Inside the Classroom
This program brings a ScienceWorks instructor into your classroom for either a 1-day, 2-day or a 4-day interactive lesson. Our workshops are NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) aligned and designed to support current curriculum by allowing teachers to select the topic that best suits their classroom need.
Current Topics:
LEGO Engineering
Available for Grades Pre K-8th
Students engineer and build LEGO buildings to withstand various challenges.
Scientific Illustration
Available for K-8th
In this workshop, students work to develop their skills in observations, scientific inquiry, and of course scientific illustration.
Magnet Magic
Available for Grades K - 3rd
This program introduces students to scientific inquiry and exploration by experimenting with magnets.
