Science Clubs
Cultivate your curiosity in STEM
Science Clubs provide a unique opportunity for children ages 10–14 to engage in exciting learning experiences and develop their scientific curiosity. Our Science Clubs cover a wide range of fields, including biology, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, physics, and robotics, to name a few. Each session is carefully crafted to build your child's knowledge and confidence, all while having a blast.
We understand the importance of community, and our Science Clubs are the perfect place to connect with other young scientists. Our program is held every second Sunday of the month, from 1 to 3 p.m. for all scientists, and from 10 a.m. to noon exclusively for female and female-identifying students. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to give your child an exciting, educational experience they'll love.
For more information, visit our FAQs page, contact the Education Reservations Team or call (619) 238-1233 x806.
If you wish to make a booking for more than four participants, please get in touch with Sandy Valdivia, Youth Programs Manager. To ensure the accessibility of our programming, we are unable to accommodate groups in a single event.
