If your child can’t wait until the next summer camp, our after-school science clubs in Chester County are a great way to keep them engaged throughout the year.
Our STEM clubs are for children in kindergarten through fifth grade and meet one hour a week for three to five weeks. We typically hold meetings right after school for convenient pickup. At the end of each meeting, we will give your child a parent page that details the information covered in the session and provides activities they can do at home to enhance the lesson.
While we frequently change our STEM club themes, some examples of clubs that may be available include:
- Slime After Slime: If your child loves slime, this is the club for them. They will make different types of slime while learning about magnetic fields and the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Wild About Weather: Let your child embrace their inner meteorologist as they make their own weather station for activities such as tracking air pressure changes, calculating wind speeds and making a tornado in a bottle.
- Secrets of Ancient Egypt: Your child will explore the fascinating world of ancient Egypt by creating their own mummy and learning how the Egyptians used science to build pyramids.
