COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Cordova Sea Squirts
We believe you are never too young to start exploring! To engage our youngest scientists, Cordova Sea Squirts meets monthly for theme-based, exciting activities. The hour long program starts with story time and then jumps into super hands-on activities that will be sure to get your tot thinking like a scientist. So come join us; create a blizzard in a jar, make a "candy rock," and design your own constellation!
This program is free to the public and is geared towards three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Caregivers must attend. Check our calendar and Facebook page for program announcements.
