What can your child do this summer?
This exciting program for students entering 5th through 10th grades includes 5-morning modules in hands-on archaeology, astronomy, biodiversity, botany, chemistry, engineering, iMovie making, mathematics, and physics, and a three-day module (2 mornings and one full-day trip) in marine science. A different module can be taken each week. Students have opportunities to explore areas of science that they may not ordinarily study in the classroom. Taught in fully equipped laboratories or in the fields at the University of Connecticut Storrs campus, each project, demonstration, and experiment have been carefully selected with safety in mind. The focus of each module is on "learning by doing" in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere. Check out our 2009 brochure for more information! Want SCIENCE in the Morning and ARTS in the Afternoon?Want to spend a full day at UConn this summer? We are coordinating our morning modules with afternoon programs at the Community School of the Arts (CSA). Shuttle buses will pick up KAST participants at the end of the morning science activities and transport them to CSA at UConn Depot Campus, 5 minutes away. After eating lunch in a common area, students can participate in a wide variety of programs in music and art. For more information, check out the CSA website here.
