Learning Lab

Learning Lab

McWane Science Center knows that families continue to struggle as they strive to determine the best educational path for their children during this uncertain time.  Some are choosing to continue with virtual/remote learning options rather than enter the regular classroom at this time.  This can be overwhelming for parents who must balance work and/or the responsibilities of managing their households.  McWane Science Center would like to help relieve some of this stress and provide an option for parents/families that are searching for support.  As such we will be extending our Learning Lab program through the end of December 2020, and this is now open to the general public for registration.
