The Academy’s inaugural program brings together a diverse group of fourth and fifth grade children from the Grand Rapids area to grow the scientists of tomorrow. These students stay together for three consecutive years in summer or after-school sessions, learning to think and act like scientists. They ask the questions, and then use critical thinking and age-appropriate investigations to find the answers. Not only do these students learn science – they apply it and begin to understand what a career in science might be like.
The deadline for requesting applications has passed for the 2010 Summer (August) Out-of-School-Time Elementary Cohort Program. Completed applications are due March 27, 2010.
Please check back after April 5 to request an application for the 2010 Fall Out-of-School-Time Elementary Cohort Program and get more information regarding program dates and times.
