“Fall” into Discovery at Explora Science Center


With several universities, a space shuttle training program, and countless other scientific projects in Albuquerque, it’s quickly becoming a hotbed for science research and discovery. Okay, so maybe you’ve settled into your current career path and can’t exactly re-configure your life so you can be an astronaut or marine biologist...and that’s okay! At the Explora Science Center, starting in just a few weeks, you can help your child and yourself become a citizen scientist by taking one of their semester-long programs and camps.

Among the programs coming up in late August are the Growing a Scientist program and the Science to Grow On program:
Aug. 28 to Dec. 21, 2013
Growing a Scientist™ offers transactive experiences for children ages 2½ through 5 together with their adult companions. Preschoolers and adults pair to learn about science by questioning, experiencing and investigating.
Aug. 31 to Dec. 21
Saturdays 9:30 – 11:00 am
Science to Grow On™ is an opportunity for transactive experiences for children in kindergarten through third grade. In these classes children learn about science by questioning, experiencing and investigating. Participation of parents or adult caregivers is encouraged, but not required.
