For Grades K-2: Dino Tale

In "Dino Tale," your child will embark on a journey back in time to explore the land of dinosaurs. Young paleontologists will have the opportunity to work with real dinosaur fossils and model casts, piecing together the captivating story of the creatures that once ruled the Earth millions of years ago. This program promises adventure and discovery that will ignite the imagination of your young explorer.

For Grades 3-5: Our Dynamic Earth

"Our Dynamic Earth" is an exploration of Michigan's geological history. Your child will have the chance to investigate actual fossils, rocks, and minerals, deciphering the clues these specimens provide about our state's rich geological past. This hands-on program is designed to foster a deep appreciation for Earth's incredible history and the science behind it.

For Grades 6-8: Pegboard Challenge

For older students, we present the "Pegboard Challenge." This program is all about testing problem-solving skills and embracing engineering challenges. Students will think outside the box and collaborate with their peers to navigate a pegboard obstacle course. The goal: Move a small ball across obstacles, all within a limited timeframe and with limited resources. It's an exercise in creative problem-solving and teamwork.

We're excited to partner with the Cranbrook Institute of Science to bring the wonders of science to your school. Join us for an adventure through time, Earth's history, and the exciting engineering world. Enroll your child in our Cranbrook After School Program today and watch their enthusiasm for science flourish.
