Orlando Science Center's monthly homeschool program is a great way to incorporate hands-on STEM learning into your child's curriculum!Each course includes an in-depth lab workshop (supplemental pre/post activities are available online). Plus, explore our exhibits and catch a film in the theater!
Students will be grouped by age according to enrollment. This program is designed for students and their caregivers to enjoy together, but students 13 and up can participate in the program independently.
May is Amazing Animals Month!
Topics include:
