SPECTACULAR SATURDAYS


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 05/18/2019
Spectacular Saturdays (K-12) Make the most of your weekends with our four-week half days (K-3) or six-week full days (4-8) Saturday programs*, which provide hands-on discovery, exploration and research with guidance and skill building from Talcott scientists.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Students gain exposure to new areas in science, nature, and technology; they build skills of a practicing professional, and they embark on creating original products or projects. The thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of success are "baked in" to our Saturday Programs.
