Science in the Summer
The Free Library of Philadelphia is excited to once again partner with The Franklin Institute to present GSK Science in the Summer, an informal, hands-on summer science program for children entering grades 2-6!
Science in the Summer is designed to increase children's value of, interest in, and confidence about doing science and pursuing STEM careers.
Be A Health Scientist!
This year's Be a Health Scientist! theme invites children to explore the diverse roles of scientists as they investigate the universe, gather information, and use actual scientific tools, machines, and procedures to solve real-world problems.
Each activity highlights a STEM career through a story that encourages children to play the role of a person in that profession. Specifically, participants will be able to try on the lab coat and join the research teams to:
- Be an Athletic Trainer
- Be a Cardiologist
- Be a Dietitian
- Be an Epidemiologist
- Be an Orthopedic Doctor
Science in the Summer programs will take place at select libraries throughout the city from June 9 to August 8, 2025. Dates and times for these programs will vary by location.
