Join our mailing list for future updates!
Look up in the sky and tell us what you see. Learn about the Earth and how it interacts with our Moon and Sun in space.
Think and design like a mechanical engineer by creating a model car and exploring the process of building a rollercoaster.
Explore the basics of coding as you learn how to talk to a computer and give it basic instructions using Scratch.
Think and design like a mechanical engineer by creating a race car and exploring the science of flight.
Learn about Earth’s place in space as we discover how the Earth and moon interact, go on a solar system tour and learn about our planetary neighbors.
Learn the basics of coding and understand how women have shaped the world of computer science! Then learn to program an Arduino board using Tinkercad software and put your new skills to the test.
Visualize how big our solar system is and discover different ways scientists explore it.
Take on the role of a mechanical engineer and use the Engineering Design Process while investigating and creating your own invention.
Become a forensic scientist, investigate clues, learn new investigative techniques, and solve our “Case of the Silver Monkey.”
Design custom characters, animations, and behaviors for video games by using visual based coding language. This intuitive tool set is limited only by your creativity.
Become a Gotham detective and conduct an investigation and analyze evidence to build a case against one of the city's notorious criminal masterminds before it's too late.
Explore light and its properties as you learn how scientists use light to discover things about space. Get a tour of the solar system and discover how scientists have collected data about stars they can never touch.
Explore the night sky in our planetarium and learn about stars, constellations, and distant galaxies.
The world of dinosaurs is both scientific and imaginative. In this program, scouts will explore how we know so much about dinosaurs and design their own.
Become a detective and solve a “mock” crime science investigation by learning essential forensics techniques.
Learn how engineers use the engineering design process to develop everyday items using the same process to design and optimize a project.
Explore various chemical processes to understand and explain the interactions materials have when reacting with each other. Prerequisites: 1, 5, 6.
Embark on a journey to gain a better understanding of how we study astronomical objects such as the sun, moon, stars, and more. Prerequisites: 1, 5, 6, and 8e. Note: Requirement 4 can be completed as a pre or post requisite.
Scouts will explore the concepts behind creating their own games by learning about game design methods and creating prototype games to play at home. Prerequisites: 1, 2, 8. Post-requisites: 7.
Identify the major factors, features, and patterns of weather and their role in the climate. Prerequisites: 1, 2, 4, 11. Post requisites: 9a and 10.
Take on the role of an architect and a builder as you move a concept from design to model to reality using Tinkercad software. Prerequisites: 1, 2, and 6. Post requisite: 5.
Model how engineers utilize the Engineering Design Process to brainstorm and create projects by applying the science of energy and electricity. Prerequisites: 2, 3, 5, 8, 9.
Explore a brief history of fingerprinting, make a model of the skin, and experiment with various techniques to collect and analyze fingerprints. Prerequisites: 1, 2.
Learn how to make a simple circuit, understand the differences between DC and AC, and explore and learn about various electrical terms. Prerequisites: 1, 2, 8, 9, 10.
