The goal of the series of seminars is to introduce children to basic concepts, terminology, and typical approaches to problems solved by the various branches of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy, with emphasis on their interaction with each other. The seminars will be united by a project complex enough to require various analytical tools provided by different sciences. There will be numerous educational games and role playing. The participants will have an opportunity to exercise their problem solving, cooperation, and presentation skills. There will be no required initial level in science and math. Adults are welcome to be present and/or participate.

There will be a series of 10 two-hour long weekly seminars for children and teenagers ages 12 and up. The total cost is $200. Reservation deadline is November 10, 2010.

Seminars will be held at 248 Chestnut Street, Englewood, NJ 07631 (201-227-7647) on Tuesdays at 1:30 PM. The first meeting is scheduled on November 16, 2010. After that we will meet on 11/23, 11/30, 12/7, 12/14 (no class on 1/4), 1/11, 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/8.
