Each summer, the Discovery Center offers a series of workshops for teens that spotlight local and global issues and offering inspiring ways to take action and change the world. Topics range from climate action and design thinking to fighting diseases and working toward gender equality.
Choose your own adventure: You can pick the topic that most excites you and make it a one-day experience, or you can take as many workshops as you like! Workshops are free and open to rising ninth through 12th grade students.
Workshop dates and topics will be announced in late spring.
