If you enjoy conducting science experiments and discovering new things, then the Mad Science afterschool workshop is for you! This Nebraska Extension program is for youth in 2nd grade and up. Sessions will be held at Oxford Public Library and Arapahoe Library this spring. Participants will become real scientists as they engage in handson activities that allow them to explore physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry.
