Our Son is always Looking forward to his Class ...
Our son David has been learning robotics at Science Cosmos for a year. He is always looking forward to his Saturday class. The teachers are really nice, specially Dr. Ashley, who is always making sure that the kids communicate to parents what they have learned that day. We appreciate that they are making efforts to put more online videos so the kids could keep working at home. >> MORE PARENT TESTIMONIALS

MATH BLASTERS
How about learning math by building cool models? Math Blasters is a hands-on course by Science Cosmos that teaches mathematical problem solving in fun way. Mathematics problems can be a difficult concept for young children to grasp, where they struggle to hold on to abstract thoughts when making their way through the problem solving process. Students build and explore geometry concepts, vocabulary, and structures in 2-D and 3-D. The hands on projects teach Math concepts in a experiential way, laying the foundation for higher mathematical learning. The students live in a 3-D world, so it makes sense for them to connect with geometry on a 3-D level. Even some of the 2-D concepts are best understood when they are held and manipulated. Students build models using math manipulative and learn concepts ranging from Geometric Shapes to Fractions is a Fun way. This innovative course utilizes Knex elements as the tool that makes abstract math tangible.
Perfect for ages 6-8 yrs.
