Mad Science After School (K-5th Gr.)
Join Mad Science for another session of fun and interesting programs that will get stimulate your senses and make you think! Each week participants will be engaged with the Mad Scientist performing fun experiments and doing engaging activities.

This after-school program is available at North Creek for K-2 grades and South Meadows for grades 3-5. Participants must be picked up promptly at the end of class.


NASA Academy of Future Space Explorers (ages 5-12)
Mad Science has teamed up with NASA in a quest for exploration! We’ll take a voyage of discovery into the atmosphere and beyond as we explore planets, moons, and other space phenomena in our solar system. Things will heat up as we examine the sun and other stars and discover the difficulties of space travel!

Kids will get a firsthand experience of the challenges of living in space as they try to assemble a satellite while training to be an astronaut. For added fun, we’ll learn about the various technologies that make space exploration possible while bouncing lasers around the room! Kids will love to build their own Mad Science Skyblazer Rocket and participate in a real “NASA” style rocket launch. Campers will receive many cool NASA take homes! Campers should bring their own water and a nut-free snack to class.

Secret Agent Lab (ages 5-12)
The following camp description is TOP SECRET:
Ever dream of becoming a secret agent? We'll start with the basics: from decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, campers have the opportunity to check out spy tech equipment and take-home lots of gadgets!

Step into the shoes of a detective as you uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis! Figure out the science of forensics in a hands-on look at crime scenes! Become a super spy and learn clever ways of performing tasks as we take a hands-on investigation of the science that spies use! Campers should bring their own water and a nut-free snack to class.

Underground Explorers (ages 7-12)
Calling all junior archaeologists and paleontologists! Uncover the mysteries of ancient civilizations, explore the history of dinosaurs, and div up the ancient past! Earn about archaeology and the techniques scientists use to excavate long-lost cities. Discover ancient civilizations and the tools and artifacts they used in everyday life.

Kids will love to study bone fragments, pottery shards, amber deposits and fossils! Camp is filled with cool take-homes such as amber keychains, world coins, plaster hand casts and more! Campers should bring their own water and a nut-free snack to class.

Brixology (ages 7-12)
Brixology Camp sets the foundation for our next generation of makers! Children learn about different types of engineering and then team up to construct a different engineering-themed project using LEGO bricks. We’ll learn about aerospace engineering while assembling a space station. We’ll explore mechanical engineering as we build boats and vehicles.

That’s not all! From carnival rides to drawing machines, mechanical animals to truss bridges, your future engineer will build upon their creativity to solve real-world design challenges, while developing their problem-solving and team-building skills. Let the tinkering begin! Campers receive custom Mad Science take homes. Campers should bring their own water and a nut-free snack to class.
