Science After School

Science After School is a hands-on outdoor science offering that the ERC delivers in partnership with local after school programs. Each week, participants engage in hands-on projects that explore various topics within the context of natural science, environmental science, and sustainability issues. Students learn how to apply the scientific method to answer real world questions through research, exploration, collaboration, games, journaling, and service learning.

In this collaborative program, students not only expand their scientific and environmental knowledge, they also achieve personal growth through increased confidence. They learn how to work independently as well as effectively in a team setting. Our partners include the Wood River Community YMCA, the Space, Far + Wise, and the Ketchum Rec.
