The Educational Enrichment Program introduces children to the scientific method using a fun, hands-on approach.
Students meet daily for five weeks during the summer.
During the school year, they are divided by gender into two groups and each group meets once a month. Using a problem-based learning modality, students engage in research, which involves reading, interpreting, analyzing, and synthesizing printed information. Based on the results of this critical inquiry, students develop a viable hypothesis, determine what materials they need and what procedures they have to utilize to conduct an experiment that will produce results that address the problem they've set out to solve. This involves using various mathematics applications. Once students have completed the research, they must analyze and interpret their results and draw conclusions from the data and write a research paper detailing their findings.
