Homeschool "HIP" Days

Our Hands-on Interactive Program (HIP) sessions will take home school students on an in-depth
exploration of space, physical and life science concepts and are the perfect compliment to our
hands-on exhibits. These programs will be thematic and cover grades 1-12 in specialized units.

Each program is conducted in one of our dynamic learning environments and lasts 35-45 minutes.
Program capacity is 25 students and up to 10 adults.
