Young Scientists Academy
Scientific Thinking Series (Ages 7–12)
The Young Scientists Academy is Science Sparks' signature program designed to teach children how to think like scientists. Instead of focusing on scientific facts alone, this series introduces the scientific method through hands-on investigations, helping children ask meaningful questions, develop hypotheses, design experiments, collect and analyze data, and communicate their findings with confidence.
Over five engaging workshops, children explore topics such as scientific questions, hypotheses, experiments, observations, conclusions, data organization, graphs, and famous scientific discoveries. Throughout the series, each child works on their own guided science project, applying everything they learn from curiosity to conclusion.
This program develops essential lifelong skills including critical thinking, logical reasoning, problem-solving, data analysis, and scientific communication. It also provides an excellent foundation for school science fairs, inquiry-based learning, and science competitions such as the NorthSouth Foundation Junior Science Bee.
Because great scientists aren't born—they learn how to think.
