Science Clubs
Our after-school and Saturday Science Clubs offer early, hands-on exposure to science through partnerships with schools and community organizations.
For Groups: After-School Science Club
The Museum partners with schools and community-based organizations to energize and equip them with innovative science curriculum, training, and materials so they can offer and facilitate after-school Science Clubs at their sites.
After-School Science Clubs provide:
- Three six-weeks sessions per year (18 weeks)
- Exciting hands-on curriculum and activities
- Training and onsite support
- Equipment, materials, and supplies for three curriculum modules
- Museum-sponsored Family Day
For Individuals: Saturday Science Club
The Museum's Saturday Science Club is comprised of youth from the Chicago area in third through fifth grade who are interested in hands-on science activities. Club members work in groups and pursue selected topics for five weeks.
