Science in the Summer

Science in the Summer teaches Philadelphia students about the wonders of science, with themes changing summner to summer.

GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer program is a free and fun experiment-oriented course taught by certified teachers to groups of 15 students in two age groups: children entering second and third grades (Level I) and children entering fourth through sixth grades (Level II). GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and administered by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in partnership with local libraries.

In Philadelphia, GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer program consists of two-day sessions. Two-day Saturday sessions also will be offered at select libraries. Class times vary by library.  Visit the web site for a participating library.  Parents must register their children in person at the library they wish to attend.
