We Value Our Community
We have been bringing spectacular science to Maine for over ten years. Mad Science enriches communities by making fun, interactive and educational science programs accessible to everyone. We are committed to our community and will strive to offer children a gateway to a world of discovery!
Our Children Need More Science...
In an age when science programs are being cut or under-funded, our programs provide unequaled science enrichment, inviting children to discover the world around them and pursue careers in the sciences. Mad Science is currently trying to create more local partnerships with businesses and organizations to increase access to Mad Science programming within the community.
Why Mad Science?
Research indicates that out of 500 typical 5th grade students, only 18 will go on to earn a science degree. More discouraging, that number drops to 2 out of 500 for female 5th grade students. As proud members of the National Science Teachers Association, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and National Association for the Education of Young People, we are committed to advancing science profeciency in our children by continuing to provide a diverse range of unique hands-on science programs.
