Student led hands-on short activity workshops for classmates, visiting Elementary students, and Community Visitors
6-period days – HIS teachers, have your students run a workshop and they all get to participate in events!
We WANT upper Elementary Students to visit and participate
Let me know if interested so we can plan logistics
Alternative to Science Fair
