Lovett Memorial Library

Science in the Summer is a free, informal science program for children entering grades 2 - 6. Supported by GSK and offered in collaboration with The Franklin Institute, the goal of the program is to increase children's interest and confidence in doing science and persuing STEM careers through hands-on activities and experiments. 

This summer's theme is: Be a Health Scientist! Health Science is all about finding ways to keep people healthy and helping them get better when they are sick.  The human body is complex. There are many parts that work together to protect us from sickness, and work to keep us healthy. When those parts are unable to do their job, health scientists can help in a variety of ways.

For children in For children in grades 2-6. No registration is needed. Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes.
