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 pursuing 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.
