Science in the Summer

GSK Science in the Summer™ in Pittsburgh

When school is out, science is in! GSK Science in the Summer™ keeps the learning going for students entering second through sixth grade.

This free, hands-on science education program aims to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. This year’s theme, Be a Biologist!, features all-new activities that invite children to help solve real-world problems.

In partnership with GSK and The Franklin Institute, Carnegie Science Center is working with 10 local organizations to provide supplies, curriculum, and live virtual learning opportunities.

This year all sessions will be provided at the partner sites, in person. Registered families from each participating organization’s community will receive activity kits containing supplies, a guide, and access to supplemental videos. Science on the Road educators will provide all program supplies to ensure all registered participants will do at least two activities during their session. Additional supplies will be left with the host partner to distribute in a way that best first their community and extant program model.

Science in the Summer will be offered in partnership with the following locations this year. Please contact the participating organizations to register.
