Interactive Science Programs
Audubon’s one-hour science investigations are interactive, hands-on programs featuring life science topics. These programs may correlate with themes that students study in science class, but the activities are modified to engage 20 to 30 students in an afterschool setting. Many of these programs include a live animal presentation.
- Fee: $160 per one-hour program.
- For afterschool settings serving a range of ages, we recommend offering two programs to ensure developmentally age-appropriate activities: Grades K–2 and Grades 3–5.
- For questions or concerns, please contact Michelle Solis, Program Registrar at msolis@asri.org or 401-245-7500 x3014.
