BUILD YOUR OWN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH PROGRAM

Grades K-12

Call us to design a fun day that will reinforce your curriculum with hands- on learning for every child. Kopernik has the equipment, trained teachers and labs ready for you. Example: Kopernik’s “Stories in the Stars” is a big success with K-5. Students read stories in ELA, they come to Kopernik to discover the stars, constellations, planets, & moons.

We can draw from the various other programs offered at Kopernik to fit your curriculum.
