LEAP
(Learn, Explore and Play) is an innovating
science enrichment program for children and youth
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
