How do they work?

Supply Kits

Students receive a supply kit containing all the materials needed to complete the activities for the entire program.

Nutty Scientist

Each student will be assigned to one of our amazing Nutty Scientists.  Grown-ups will contact the instructor when their student wants to start a project.  The assigned instructor will provide written instructions for one of the projects in the kit. Students then work at their own pace (away from the screen) as they explore the exciting project!

Pre-Recorded Videos

Later, students will have access to a pre-recorded video from a Nutty Scientist, along with additional instructions and information about the project’s topic.

Interactive Zoom Meeting

When ready, students will have the option to join a Zoom with their assigned Nutty Scientist to share their project, ask questions, discuss their challenges and successes, and take on some extra Nutty Challenges.  Student sharing is entirely optional.
