Welcome to the world of Mad Science virtual after school programs! The instructor will complete lively demonstrations of incredible experiments and will call on children throughout the program and engage them digitally. Each week the children will get hands-on by building the pre-supplied take-home. There will also be a presentation of extension activities on our weekly theme for you and your child to complete at home after the class. You will be contacted via e-mail prior to the first class on when to pick up your take-home kit at the Kennebunk Parks & Recreation Department's office.
