Aspiring scientists entering 4^th, 5^th or 6^th grade in the fall will love exploring nature and science at APEC!  Each weekly program will focus on a different topic and have live animal guests, hands-on activities, and outdoor time. Children should dress for a daily nature walk and bring a labeled REUSABLE water bottle and nut-free snack. Participants should have sunscreen and bug repellant applied prior to entering the Center.  Limited to 12 participants.

Week 5             August 5 – August 9             Summer Sustainability: Over the course of this exciting week, students will focus on thought-provoking STEM challenges that get them thinking like real engineers. Students will also witness how “smart engineering” can be implemented to solve a host of environmental issues that make the world a safer and cleaner place.
