Supporting our Local Hospitals Battling COVID-19
In these challenging times, we've decided to offer our summer workshops online this year and we will donate the proceeds to hospitals on the front lines battling the COVID-19 crisis. |
Expert Instructors
Almost all of our instructors are high schoolers who are alumni of the Kennedy Science Olympiad team and have competed at the Science Olympiad National Tournament. We're excited to share our passion for science with younger students through these workshops. |
Wide Range of Topics
We're excited to offer new Math and Physical Science workshops this summer, in addition to offer our popular workshops which cover a wide range of different topics and fields. Feel free to sign up for whichever ones interest you! |

Python is one of the most commonly used programming languages today and is easy for beginners to learn because of its simplicity. In this 1-week class, students will learn the fundamentals of Python including variables, iterables, control flow, and an introduction to functions through hands-on instruction. Throughout the course, we will use the Turtle library which integrates drawing on a canvas to practice the topics. No programming experience is necessary. We will be using Google Colab as our platform; the only requirement is a personal Google account.
