Afterschool Programs

 

Thanks to the Thriving Communities Program made possible by the State’s Rural Alaska Community Action Program (RurAL CAP) Grant that was awarded to the Sitka Sound Science Center in August 2023 we have been able to offer an array of options to children in 3rd through 8th grade.

From Symmetries in the aquarium to Storytelling, our after-school educator Maia Carter has created wonderful interactive activities. All classes are offered free of charge and transportation from school to the Science Center is included.

There is still time to register for the upcoming sessions below just follow the links. Email Maia mcarter@sitkascience.org or call 651-491-5044 with any questions.
