We are pleased to share the next three Zoom into Science sessions. These free, one-hour sessions are open. Our typical audience is upper elementary and middle school youth, but we do encourage younger/older youth to participate. There is no cost to attend, but participants must register for each session using the online form. An auto-generated e-mail with the Zoom link is sent to the e-mail address used in the registration process.
Military Staff: This is a great resource to share as an educational program for those unable to attend in-person sessions along with offering this session at your facility for face-to-face youth. For your face-to-face group consider a follow-up or pre-work activity to extend or introduce the activity. Coloring sheets and diagrams can a fun way to reflect on concepts learned.
Families: Change up an afternoon at home by watching one or all of the sessions as a family. Just think about the fun dinner time chats after learning something new together.
