Looking for experiences and programming that supplement your homeschool science curriculum? 

With hands-on workshops for students and parents, the Homeschool Science Series is a unique opportunity for homeschoolers to enhance their curriculum through STEM programming led by SCI staff. Workshops also provide an opportunity for homeschoolers to share ideas and expand their network of like-minded learners. 

Workshops are held for students, ages 6-14 years old (Kindergarten - 8th grade), from 11:00 AM-Noon on Thursdays in October. Registration includes two concurrent workshops, one for youth and one for their parents/ caregivers exploring the day’s theme.  

Homeschool Science Series theme- Agriculture: Lab to Farm 

Hands-on science. Real-world connections. Future-ready skills. 

Join us for a 5-week journey where curiosity meets agriculture! From seeds and soil to bugs and robots, learners will dig in, experiment, and explore how science and technology shape the future of farming. 

Each week brings a new theme packed with discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun! 

Week 1: From Seed to Sprout 

Dissect plants, germinate seeds, and uncover the biology and chemistry that help plants grow. 

Week 2: Farms of the Future 

Robots, sensors, and drones, oh my! Experiment with the cutting-edge tools farmers use to make agriculture more efficient. 

 Week 3: Getting Dirty! 

Grab a magnifying glass and investigate what’s hiding in the soil beneath our feet. 

Week 4: Bugs, Friend or Foe? 

Pollinators or pests? Discover which bugs help crops thrive and which cause harm. 

Week 5: Nature as a Maker 

Turn nature into creations! Learn how makers work with nature to make butter, spin wool, mix natural dyes, and even imagine a farm for Mars.
