Let Us Bring the Science to You!
We bring the science to your classroom! Science on Wheels Workshops consist of hands-on, grade-specific content based on Arizona State Education Standards. They are designed for a single class or similarly-sized group.
Each Science on Wheels program for grades 6-8 is designed for up to 30 participants and is approximately 60 minutes per sessions. The first session costs $300, and each additional session costs $250*.
