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.
