Fun Activities!
Our team has developed a series of downloadable activities, with the guidance of our participating scientists and engineers. They're designed to give kids fun ways to experiment with scientific concepts related to the 3 Scientific Topics for this past year’s Kids’ Science Challenge. They may also be adapted for use in science fair projects. For activity downloads and more information about adapting the KSC experience to a local science fair, check out our Activities page.
