When school’s out, science is in! Kentucky Science Center’s mission is to help your child learn, even when JCPS is closed. In our pay by day camps your child will develop skills and make friendships that will last a lifetime. Our camp encourages all campers to play, tinker, and investigate the world around them with plenty of time to explore their favorite science center. Check back regularly for new updates as the school year progresses.

Pre-K to K

Grade 1-2

Grade 3-5
Pre-K to K:
Robotic Creations: Pre-K to K
In this screen free robotic challenge, you will use Cubelets© and Littlebits© robotics to build a robot that can follow a line and even move in response to light.
Maker World: Pre-K to K
Welcome to the world of makers, inventors and creators where the learning is done by doing. Come tinker, explore and create using a variety of materials from cardboard, to textiles, and even duct tape.
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles: Pre-K to K
Let’s get moving as we test out train tracks, a variety of wheels, and different ways to get from here to there.
Motion Madness: Pre-K to K
Harness the principles of physics as you engineer roller coasters, design a vessel that will stay afloat, and launch a catapult.
Flight Zone: Pre-K to K
Soar into the world of flight and learn about aerodynamics by designing and creating your own flying machines from airplanes to rockets.
