Bring home your own “Mad Science Skyhawk Foam Plane”. (We need access to a safe, uncluttered area to perform this workshop, preferably outdoors) Mad Science Enrichment Programs are fun explorations into science and technology, and they encourage informal learning through hands-on experience. All Mad Science workshops include a lot of fascinating equipment, supplies, and take-home materials which the children build themselves.
