Little Science geeks this is the spot for you! Based on the grounds of Fermilab, the Lederman Science Center offers many classes for ages K-12. Son #4 is a Science geek. We tried all the sports, but he’s more interested in the force behind the ball than the actual goings on of the game. After accepting that and moving on, I became desperate to find classes that met his needs. I’ve tried the park districts and even College of DuPage, but hadn’t found the right mix. Then I discovered this place and my prayers were answered! The first class he took was about volcanoes and they mixed chemical together to find something to cause an eruption. Of course they reviewed all the science behind it and then I had to deal with re-enactments around the house for days after the class, but that’s ok. The next class was more about physics and they used Lego Mindstorm kits. These classes are priced competitively, have low enrollment and are taught by instructors who also get into the subject matter and aren’t biding their time until they retire. It’s a great experience. So when you notice a mini-Sheldon in your mists, send him or her over to Fermilab’s Lederman Science Center to Science up!
