LEAP
LEAP (Learn, Explore and Play) is an innovating science enrichment program for children and youth in grades 3-8 based at the Edgewood Branch of HCPL. Introducing different science themes through programs led by scientists and engineers, and take-home science oriented kits, LEAP encourages children and teens to consider pursuing science and technology careers that are and will be the basis of many jobs in the local area. LEAP: Science is Fun! is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services
