Saturday+Science



The Columbus Space Program is proud to announce Saturday Science which is a very popular program for young students. Each Saturday Science is an afternoon packed with hands-on STEM activities led by Columbus Space Program teachers, FRC4188 Robotics high school students, and mentors of the Columbus Space Program Robotics team. Many families use the time to go Christmas shopping or take in a movie.

This program is being offered exclusively to families of supporters of the Columbus Space Program which includes: Muscogee County School District, Pratt & Whitney, AFLAC, Synovus, Lockheed Martin, WC Bradley Company, West Rock, Kysor Warren, C-Pak, Oneda, MCOE, and Columbus Water Works. There is a small charge equivalent to what a babysitter would charge to cover materials and to support the Columbus Space Program, as they continue to represent the Muscogee County Schools as the only FIRST Robotics Competition team. The target audience is fun-loving, science-aware children from 3rd grade through 6th grade. The program occurs on a scheduled Saturday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parents drop their children off at the registration tables between noon-1pm at Marshall Middle School and pick them up between 5-6pm.
