Science Summer Camps
Science is more than a subject. It's part of everything we do - and the more we understand, the more we can appreciate and conserve our natural world to a greater extent.
The Pinhead Institute is exited to be joining forces with the Ah Haa School for the Arts to offer science courses that allow children an opportunity to explore and discover nature & chemistry through art, thereby introducing participants alternative ways to understand & appreciate the world of scientific study.
In these camps, kids will investigate, invent, experiment, interpret, discover, and share what they have learned. Most important of all, kids will have fun using their hands & minds!

Nifty Nature: Trees, Bugs, Birds & Bees Times: Monday - Thursday from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (with lunch break) Cost: $400 for four full days Instructor: Lisa Christadore (Boston University) |
Become an eco-artist at the Ah Haa this summer! Where do insects live? Why are flowers different colors? Can all birds fly? Each day a Pinhead scientist will teach kids how nifty nature can be & how field science is conducted. Get ready for outside adventures and activities to show you how to observe the natural world around us! Then, students will spend the afternoons gathering materials from outside to create our nature-themed art! Projects will include recycled creations, leaf prining, track molds, bark rubbing, a scavenger hunt and so much more! Dress for a mess!

Fizz! Bang! Pop! Squish! The Art of Mad Science Times: Monday - Thursday from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (with lunch break) Cost: $400 for four full days Instructor: Dr. Rosemary White (Boston University) |
Are you ready to mix up some wild & wacky concoctions? Each day we will uncover the wonders of science through experiments & exploration with an expert Pinhead scientist. We will mix powders, make slime, discover the planets, grow crystals, and more! Get your lab coats & goggles ready!
Then in these four art-filled & educational afternoons, kids will participate in a series of hands-on activities such as making & completing a chemistry scavenger hunt - and then building a sculpture out of their found objects, creating invisible ink, getting messy, and so much more! Dress for a mess!
Contact Ah Haa to register for these courses today! Space is limited!
