SUMMARY:Ecology for Homeschoolers | Ages 10-13
DESCRIPTION:Ecology is all about interactions between organisms and their environment. In this class students will get hands-on experience learning about local biodiversity while observing nature on our mountaintop campus. We will discuss the issues of invasive species\, find and identify them\, and learn what can be done to stop them. We will also focus on threatened and endangered species\, learn about local and worldwide regulations\, and what can be done to save them. This class is a great mixture of hands-on activities\, discussion\, and debate – to get students thinking about the natural world around them. \nClass runs from 9:30am – 1:30pm\, Fridays\, October 3 – November 7. \nREGISTER ONLINE\n$480 per student

SUMMARY:Physics for Homeschoolers | Ages 6-9
DESCRIPTION:The way things fly\, move\, and fall – are all due to physics! Experiment with rocketry\, roller coaster design\, and Newton’s Laws of Motion. Learn about how physics enables things to stay aloft\, both natural and manmade. See how nature has inspired modern designs of airplanes\, rockets\, and vehicles.  Every action has a reaction\, and every week of physics is fun! \nClass runs from 9:30am – 1:30pm\, Fridays\, October 3 – November 7. \nREGISTER ONLINE\n$480 per student

SUMMARY:3D Printing for Homeschoolers | Ages 10-13
DESCRIPTION:From prototype to print\, design real solutions for real-world problems! In this hands-on course\, students will explore the world of 3D printing and CAD (computer-aided design) by creating original models they can bring to life with our Prusa printers. Beyond just printing fun objects\, students will be challenged to identify real-world problems and design practical solutions. They’ll learn essential design principles\, how to prepare (“slice”) their models for printing\, and how 3D printers translate code into physical form. Along the way\, they’ll gain valuable skills in creative thinking\, troubleshooting\, and iteration\, just like real engineers and designers. \nClass runs from 9:30am – 1:30pm\, Fridays\, October 3 – November 7. \nREGISTER ONLINE\n$480 per student

SUMMARY:Fall FLL Robotics | Ages 9-14
DESCRIPTION:FALL IS ROBOTICS SEASON AT TALCOTT!\n\nJoin our award-winning 6-week program and prepare to compete in the FIRST LEGO League Robotics competition in November! \n\n\n\nStudents spend six weeks of instruction in our mountaintop robotics lab\, complete with LEGO SPIKE PRIME robots and expert coaches to help them design\, build\, troubleshoot\, code and compete in the Fall 2025 season. Two teams of up to 10 students each will create a robot to play the “Unearthed!” game. Students will grow their critical thinking\, coding\, and design skills through hands-on STEM learning — and uncover the future! They’ll compete in at least one regional competition\, with a chance to attend the State Tournament based on performance. \n\n\n\nSix Saturdays\, plus at least one competition\, October – December 9:00am – 3:00pm \nREGISTER ONLINE\n$750 per student

SUMMARY:Skygazing on Talcott Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable evening of stargazing at Talcott Mountain Science Center’s mountaintop campus!  You’ll begin your night with a guided constellation tour in our planetarium\, followed by outdoor telescope viewing under the stars. \nWith our powerful telescopes\, we’ll search for stars\, planets\, deep sky objects\, and more! Saturn takes center stage at this special night under the stars! Join us for an unforgettable evening of skywatching as we turn our telescopes toward the planet’s dazzling rings and learn what makes it one of the crown jewels of our solar system. \nBecause much of the program takes place outdoors\, please dress for the weather — anticipating cooler temperatures on the mountain than in the surrounding towns. This program is ideal for both astronomy enthusiasts and curious minds ages 4 and up (children must be accompanied by an adult). \nDon’t miss this chance to experience the night sky from one of Connecticut’s most scenic and inspiring vantage points! \n$25/Adults (Ages 14+)\n$15/Children (Under 14) \nPURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE\nIn the event of cancellation due to inclement weather\, we will contact the primary registrant via email and/or phone. (Please provide accurate contact information when registering.) Any cancellations or postponements will be decided no later than noon the day of the event. \nQuestions prior to the event? Contact Danielle Limata at 860.677.8571 or email dlimata@tmsc.org. \nThis event is sponsored by:
