Area schools may now host a “Family Science Night” at their schools. The Emerald Coast Science Center will provide all supplies and equipment for 20 “hands-on” tables loaded with science experiments. All experiments are designed to satisfy the Florida Sunshine State Standards for science. The program is designed for parents to self-guide their young students through each experiment. Schools are asked to provide volunteers at each table for assistance. Each school sets the schedule for the 2 hour evening program for their convenience.
Cost for schools is $400 per event. Easypayment is available via a Global Service Agreement on the Okaloosa CountySchool Districts web page.
