One-of-a-kind places where families learn together
Did you know that most of the science we learn is learned out of school? In fact, over a lifetime, about 95% of the science we learn is not learned in a classroom. Whether you choose to learn at home, at a museum, out-of-doors or anywhere else, time spent learning together as a family enriches classroom learning.
