Science in Action groups are intended for class groups, not individuals, and include safety and risk contracts with the schools and class teachers. We have had some homeschool groups organize to come to workshops together, with one parent acting as the main legally responsible contact.

Science in Action workshops are only available during the week between 8:30am-2:30pm. Please see our workshop listings for specific days certain workshops are available. This will vary by subject and term.
