Day Care for Older Children

Mad Science Summer Day Camp

Mad Science programs are designed to spark imaginative learning! The camps engage students in a series of fun hands-on experiments and demonstrations that include at least on take-home science project.  The camp will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Our camps are designed to be inquiry-based, hands-on learning opportunities for children from 8 to 13 year old children. The programs offer children a chance to see just how cool science can be!

At ESA’s Annual Meeting, join Mad Science for 4 days of fun  as we explore the Earth, Planets, Stars ..... and beyond, as part of the NASA Academy of Future Space Explorers program.  Delve into the world of chemistry in Crazy Chemworks. Learn how to operate different lab equipment, tell the difference between acids and bases, identify chemical reactions, observe chemistry that happens in the blink of an eye, and bond molecules together in ooey-gooey slime.
