What you need to know
about the
Big Sky Summer of Science
Who – Big Sky Build It! enrichment workshops are taught by a team of skilled
science educators led by
Michael Sheppard. Over the past 16 years, Michael
has led thousands of Santa Fe’s children and teens
through exciting educational science programs. Big
Sky Learning has been Santa Fe’s resource for
innovative science, math, and language educational
programs. We also
provide year-round tutoring,
assessment, home school, and enrichment programs at
our down town learning center.
What – A series of
week-long all day hands-on
science enrichment workshops. Teams of up to 20 young
scientists work closely with skilled teachers (1:5 student/teacher ratio) as they explore the
tools, skills, and science of electronics, physics,
and chemistry. Our enrichment programs are geared
for three different age groups, 5-7, 8-10, and
11-14.
When – The summer session starts on Monday, June
9th
and ends on Friday, August 15th. Campers arrive at
9:00 am and stay until 3:30pm. Pre care from
8:00-9:00am and 3:30-5:00pm is available for $6 per
hour. Campers bring their own
lunch.
Where –
This year we will be Buildin'
It! at the new
Alvord magnet school for environmental
sustainability on Paseo de Peralta in the Railyard.
Why –
We are on a
mission to help children discover what they are
really capable of. Our
quality of life
depends on our understanding of life.
It also depends on our ability
to create a satisfying life in a healthy world.
Science and invention are two big ways we humans can do
this.
How Much – Each week long workshop is
$235.00 + $50 for materials. Some workshops have an
additional materials fee that reflects the cost of
certain electronic parts. Families who
otherwise could not afford this program pay a sliding fee of
$25 to $100 + tax
