After-School Science in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Hands-on science in a curiosity-friendly setting ``for kids who wonder''

 
  
PHILOSOPHY OF THE MAD SCIENTISTS' CLUBHOUSE

Why we do what we do

Children are natural-born scientists. They look at the world with wonder and curiosity, and they love to figure out how things work.

In today's world it is hard for children to build their mental muscles by exploring scientific phenomena, especially at their own pace. They need the time to do this -- to think about things, to fiddle with stuff, to make their own mistakes, and to have fun!

The Mad Scientists' Clubhouse offers children this opportunity. It is a place where kids can experiment and figure things out, build gadgets and tweak them, and get elbow-deep in hands-on science!

At the Mad Scientists' Clubhouse kids have the time to pursue scientific questions in depth, with guidance and encouragement, but without pressure or haste.
