Afterschool Expeditions

Join us for an exciting new program, Afterschool Expeditions*, in the Town Center at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. Elementary and middle school students are invited to explore, engage and discover science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison on Mondays from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Every week different presenters will provide engaging hands-on activities and volunteers will help lead students in the exploration of the Town Center's many interactive features such as searching for fossils in the floor or viewing the macro- and microworld using the 3-D microscopy niche. Please register** your group for Afterschool Expeditions using the form below.
