The Fall 2022 series starts in October.
See the Virtual Classes page of website for the schedule to find the dates and times for classes for your child's age group (for ages 5 -12). Choose a 5-class or 10-class weekly series.

The weekly STEM Inquiry virtual classes include several elements: a main hands-on exploration, a shorter hands-on exploration;   science journaling; inquiry follow-up investigations on questions the children are wondering about week-to-week; science songs with guitar; non-fiction book. The classes are responsive to the children's interest levels, so the main exploration can run longer if the children are very engaged and need more time with it. Some classes include a "Meet the Scientist" component where we look at the work of a particular scientist and field of study, such as ornithology.  

Classes are small groups with a minimum of three students, and a maximum of ten students. 

Families sharing one Zoom screen are welcome. There is a $40 fee for an additional exploration kit of materials for the additional child for each 6-week series. Contact us to pay for the additional kit by Venmo. If you prefer to sign up your children for separate classes, just contact us for the second sibling discount, and we'll give you the coupon code.
