Our typical program is held immediately after school for 1 hour and lasts for 6, 8, 10 or 12 weeks. Most school run Mad Science programs twice a year in the Fall and Winter/Spring. We would be happy to discuss extended hours, days or other configurations.

Who pays for an after-school program?

What is the cost to the school or organization?

There is no cost to the school or organization. In fact, some PTOs, schools or Parks and Rec add an administrative fee that we can collect and remit directly to the program administration.

What benefits do you provide to the school or sponsoring organization?

In addition to collection of any administrative fees, we can provide scholarships, a free kick-off science show and sponsorship of school science events.

How many kids? (Minimum and maximum)

Parent-paid programs may be run with as few as 12 kids, and up to 21 kids maximum. Grant-funded programs may be run at a low fixed price per class up to 21 kids per class. If you have more than 21 kids sign up, we can run multiple classes!

Are all ages always in the same class?

Our curriculum is designed to be taught at multiple age levels and in multi-age classes. If we are running one class we will typically accept all ages from K-5. At many schools we do not admit K's into the Fall semester. If there is more than one class, we can divide by grade level.
