Science in the Summer: Be a Health Scientist!

Wed, July 16, 2025 2:00 P.M. Add to your calendar
Widener Library

Want to be a Scientist and learn how to help others be healthier? This engaging STEM series will happen every Wednesday at 2 pm in July. This partnership is provided by the Franklin Institute,  and invites children to play the role of different types of health scientists each week! Children will practice their critical thinking skills and work to solve real-life problems encountered by health scientists every day. By the end of the series, we’ll have covered what it’s like to be a dietitian, athletic trainer, epidemiologist, orthopedic doctor, and cardiologist. This program is great for keeping young minds active!

Event dates: Summer 2025, Wednesdays, July 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th
