General Information

Our second Discovering the Scientist Within of 2021 was virtually held Saturday, June 12, from 9AM-1:45PM. 

For those that participated in our kit raffle - activity recordings will be posted here as they are processed. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.

Supervision During the Virtual Event

Some activities are best done under adult supervision (e.g. working with rubbing alcohol). As such - by registering for the event, parents/guardians are agreeing to supervise all activities and virtual connection while their student participates in DSW at home. Please contact Emily Nicholson at [email protected] with specific questions and concerns.
