Whiz, bang, POP!  These are some of the sounds you will  hear when you attend a Mad Science camp this summer.

Mad Science makes science accessible to kids who love the question, "Why?"  This summer, visit some of our City's wonderful community centers for some fun and instructive camps involving biology, chemistry, physics, robotics, or aeronautics. Bugs, plants, physical reactions, robots, or space flight are some of the more intriguing camps your avid young scientist will enjoy.

San Jose's Parks and Recreation Department provides a rich and diverse menu of programs each season. This summer, check out the following Community Centers for Mad Science programs:

Almaden Community Center (Don't forget to check out the Library!)

Camden Community Center

Evergreen Community Center

Willow Glen Community Center

At the Library, Mad Science instructors come with their white lab coats and their boundless enthusiasm for science. Energetic and engaging, these instructors have the best rapport with children!

Mad Science also provides really fun afterschool programs. Ask your school's home and school club if they can help arrange for one of these programs. Kids will enjoy them, guaranteed!

Future blogs will discuss some of the other wonderful summer camps at the City's Parks and Recreation Department.
