These hands-on math and science workshops are offered weekly. Each workshop is 50 minutes long. Students can take one or both workshops. Fees are charged per workshop.

Each science and math workshop consists of an introduction to the concept followed by exploratory learning activities. Activity worksheets are used to record findings. Students can work alone or with a partner, but each student completes their own activity sheet. Teams can be parent/child or student/student. Small class sizes ensure individualized attention

In the math workshops, students use data recorded from previous science workshops to apply the concepts and further investigate the science results. When available, students use their own science results, otherwise they use data provided by the instructor. Science materials for the science activity are available if further investigation, additional data, or confirmation of data is desired.

In the science workshops, students explore concepts using hands-on activities. The 3-step Scientific Method of: Hypothesis, Test, Actual is followed. Students first record their guess as to what they think will happen. Next they try the activity and observe what happens. The result is recorded and compared to the guess. Using this information students make a guess for what will happen in the next activity. There is no right or wrong - just steps closer to understanding how a scientific concept works that are based on experience .
