Attention science loving kids!

Philadelphia students who are entering second through sixth grades can register and attend GSK Science in the Summer, a free program that gets elementary students involved in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on activities and classwork.

Sponsored by GSK and conducted by The Franklin Institute in partnership with local libraries, the hands-on classes will teach students about physical science and electricity. Students will experiment with magnets, see the effects of static electricity, build their own electrical circuit and much more.

The courses are taught to classes of 16 students in two age groups: children entering second and third grades (Level I), and children entering fourth through sixth grades (Level II) by certified teachers.

The program consists of two-hour sessions on two days. Level I classes are from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and Level II classes are from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Classes will take place at various libraries throughout the city, including but not limited to, Ramonita de Rodriguez Neighborhood Library in North Philly, Northeast Regional Library in Northeast Philly, Oak Lane Neighborhood Library in Northwest Philly, Walnut Street West Neighborhood Library in West Philly, and Whitman Neighborhood Library in South Philly.

Registration is open until May 29 and can be done online.
