Science Workshop Projects

The Science Workshop is filled with tools, including all the standard hand held tools as well as a variety of saws, drills and sanders. Since safety is paramount, children must first demonstrate competency with the hand tools before they can be taught to use the power tools. In addition to tools, all types of materials are made available to the children, ranging from consumer electronics (that can be taken apart and then reassembled) to building materials, including wood, modeling clay and paper mache. All activities are overseen by the site director and additional staff and volunteers. 

Here’s a sampling of the types of activities that take place at Science Workshop. All activities are overseen by the site director with additional staff and volunteers.
