Due to the success of its debut, the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Department of Parks and Community Renewal are announcing the return of Mad Science Workshop Series at Trailside Nature and Science Center in Mountainside.
This fun-filled, after-school science program is for students in grades one through five. This event runs for six consecutive Wednesdays, beginning on Feb., 16 and ending on March 23, 2011. Each class will run from 3:45 – 4:45 p.m and the cost is $109 per child and pre-registration is required.
Mad Science of West New Jersey developed this series. They are a division of the Mad Science Group (madscience.org), which sends Mad Scientists around the world to demonstrate that there is much more to science than what children read in textbooks.
