Instructor: Schmahl Science Instructors
The children at Schmahl Science Workshops love science. Like children everywhere, they learn most effectively when they are challenged and having fun. We are a partnership of students, parents, scientists, engineers and educators who have come together to help foster this interest in science. We believe that children are motivated to learn when their ideas are cultivated through they joy of designing and carrying out an experiment. Our workshops enable students to explore and invent what inspires them, and to develop they skills needed to achieve success in all areas of their lives.
