Our instructors are engineers, scientists and/or scholars with knowledge and experience in the program they are leading. They also are passionate about sharing applied science and engineering with young people.

Edge on Science programs are structured around individual and team projects. Children are challenged while having fun and making new friends. Our approach is to tap into the intrinsic curiosity that children have so that at the end of the day they own the science and are eager to return the next day!

"Edge on Science takes science off the page and puts it into the hands of your child." -Rondalyn Whitney, mom
