Science Saturday at Charles Wright Academy

At Charles Wright Academy we believe an inspired mind grows forever! That's why we're opening the doors to our science labs and inviting South Sound kids to our annual Science Saturday event.

It's the best way we've found to get more kids excited about science, learning, and the mysteries of the world around us. 

We keep the groups small, so each child gets lots of instruction and hands-on time. Attendees will work in small groups, along with teachers, in our science labs and on the grounds of CWA's vast 100-acre campus.
