Bolingbrook Park District SCIENCE
programs make learning fun!

With science programs introduced to kids as early as two years, kids are introduced to things like engineering, physics, math, chemistry and more! Older kids will explore their interests and do things like build Minecraft worlds, build robots, learn about space, rockets and race cars, all using STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). These engaging and sometimes repeatable classes teach kids to problem solve, work in groups and have fun doing hands-on experiments.
