Get ready to spark some curiosity in this hands-on program for students in grades 6-8!

You’ll discover how batteries work, what makes them last, and how to use them safely—then put your knowledge to the test by building your own batteries from everyday materials.

The same activities will be offered at two different times: a 2:00 PM session designed with a homeschool grades 4-8 audience in mind, and a 6:00 PM session geared toward after-school grades 6-8 participants. Choose the time that works best for your schedule and join us for an electrifying learning experience!

Registration is required. Please register each child who will be attending separately. This program is intended for children ages 11-14.

If you have questions, please contact the Potomac Branch at 301-375-7375 or email potomacref@ccplonline.org.
