IMPACT science Saturdays at UWG
The IMPACT (Improving Motivation, Performance, Attitudes of Children and Teachers) program at the University of West Georgia has announced its fall schedule of Saturday science programs, and registration is now open.
Sessions will be held on Oct. 9, Nov. 13 and Dec. 11. Classes are offered for kids from kindergarten through 8th grade, covering a variety of topics from the water cycle to kitchen chemistry to computer animation.
We went to the kickoff session of IMPACT this weekend, and I’m not going to sugar coat it. It’s a haul from anywhere in DeKalb. Just how far is it? Well, figure out how long it takes you to get to the intersection of I-20 and the west side of I-285, and then add 45 minutes to estimate your total travel time to UWG. But the price is right: just $5 for a three-hour class. And since you sign up for classes individually, you could pick one topic that really tickles your kid’s brain and make a day of it, enjoying lunch or dinner in historic downtown Carrollton.
Enrollment is limited to 24 children per class, so if you’re interested, sign up soon.
