Super Science Pods

Super Science Pods - Let APEC be the “S” in your STEM​                     
As we get closer to the opening of NYC schools, we at APEC understand there are still a number of uncertainties. Whether your children will be remote, blended, or in-school learners, APEC will be offering educational lessons to enhance their science curriculum. Allow us the opportunity to introduce the wonders of nature and science to your children in a unique outdoor setting. 
What APEC is offering:
  • Hour long Super Science lessons focusing on the natural world
  • Small group setting (limited to 12)
  • Engaging science learning to complement your life science objectives – MOSTLY OUTDOORS – in Nature!
  • When group is indoors (for a short time), APEC will be exclusively used by our students during that time.  (no public access)
  • Safety protocols are in place.  Staff and children are required to wear a mask during the program.
  • A safe, fun, and enriching educational environment.
  • Experienced APEC educators will lead each group.
There will be two 5-week series this Fall.  You may register your child for one series or both.  The children will meet once a week on either a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Please register your child for the appropriate group based on their grade.
