Pint Size Science

Spark curiosity and wonder through play!

Pint Size Science (PSS) classes provide stepping stones for early learners to explore science topics and help parents/caregivers feel more confident being a STEM coach for their child.

Workshops are held for children, ages 3–5 years old with a caring adult, from 9:15–10:15 AM on Thursdays in October.

October Workshops 

We’re currently planning our next season of Pint Size Science programs!

Check back toward the end of this summer as we announce upcoming themes, dates, and additional details for future Pint Size Science experiences. We look forward to welcoming your little scientists back to SCI soon!

Cost per student:

  • Members = $15 
  • Non-Members = $25

Cost for parents/caring adult: No additional cost for parents that register for the workshop*

* Only those that are registered, both students and parents/caring adult, can attend the workshop. Children younger than 3 attending the workshop do not need to be registered. Registered participants receive admission to the Science Center of Iowa for the remainder of the day.

The science behind the PSS program:

Pint Size Science classes are designed to reflect current brain research, which shows that academic learning is directly connected to emotion. Young children need a caring adult to share their early STEM experiences, and Pint Size Science classes provide opportunities for young children and their parent or caregiver to learn together.
