Mad Science, the world's leading fun science provider.
We come to you — no mess, no hassle. Our awesome Mad Scientists bring high-energy, interactive science to your school, community center, library or other group location.
Discover Mad Science Camps!
Mad Science Camps will help your child to touch, see, hear, smell and taste what science is all about. We offer a daily combination of in-class discovery, outdoor games, and hands-on application of scientific principles. Campers create a variety of take-home projects, and explore how science affects the world around us. Your children will have so much fun, they won't realize that they're learning.
Camps can be full-day, half-day or single-day. Single-day may be combined to make multi-day classes. Programs are offered during the Summer, Christmas Holidays, and at many “out of school” days throughout the year.
Currently Scheduled Camps are listed on our website, kansascity.madscience.org.

3, 2, 1… Blast Off!
Ages 7-13 5 full days
This action packed week will focus solely on rockets and the physics of rocket flight and expand on many of the concepts learned in Rockin’ Rockets and Aerodynamics Week 1. After learning the model rocket safety code, campers will build ten different types of rockets and participate in the launching of 6 different rockets during the weeklong program. Children will be divided into three groups; altitude trackers, launch preparation and launchers for all rocket launches and will get the opportunity to try all three roles.
Topics: Rocket Basics, Rocket Flight, Mission Control, Rocket Propulsion and Recovery, Go for Launch!
Claws, Codes & Constellations
Ages 6-13 5 full days
Spend five days with Mad Science exploring the "awesomeness" that is science! Discover how to send secret messages to your friends using special codes. Learn about your surrounding environment and how science will help us protect our planet. Explore how Newton's laws are at work in your favorite sport.
