Pint Size Science
Discover the wonders of science in monthly classes designed specifically for young explorers ages 3 to 5 and their families!
Led by an SCI Programs Team member, this interactive classroom experience allows young explorers to discover the world around them through fun, hands-on activities they can share with a parent or caregiver. General admission to SCI the day of your class is included!
