The Mock Trial Program is an exciting law-related educational program that introduces high school students (grades 9-12) to the American legal system. Mock trials are structured like "real" court trials and follow the same rules. The program pairs students with mentors from the legal community. Through one-on-one interactions with attorney coaches, a student's understanding of the law is greatly enhanced.

Our science fair is created by scientists who are dads and who want to see every child be excited about science. Unfortunately, science and math are often taught by rote memorization which makes them seem dull. Instead, we want to use this science fair to stoke their natural curiosity in the world around them.

 

We plan to make sure that your child loves their experience by offering to mentor them throughout this process. We would like to spark your child's natural curiosity and creativity so that they will want to experience science again, and again, and again.
