We love the Citizen Science Lab programs. They have been excellent enrichment experiences for our home-education science program. My kids are always so excited to get their boxes of materials and come bounding downstairs on the days of their classes unable to wait for them to begin. The instructors are caring, engaging, and invested in the kids’ learning experiences. I love seeing my kids so psyched for STEM learning.

My grandchild has been going to the Citizens Science Lab for approximately three years. The broad array of stem classes they have taught has helped develop her mind. She doesn’t fear trying to accomplish what may be challenging for many because they have mentored her and made learning science fun. Their robotics program is a first rate program.

A great place to learn and connect with other budding scientists. We have participated in many of there classes and a summer camp. We are never disappointed with the kindness of the teachers and the level of information given. It is a great learning resource in Pittsburgh.
