Schedule
Hang with us as we travel Chicago and it's surrounding cities to watch some of the coolest science geeks make history and attempt the impossible. Our free Mini Tours were created to give potential Intellectual Practice Program students ideas about different projects they might want to explore with our coaches. Kids learn about STEM and what it takes to be successful in these fields. Parents also learn a little something too, as they join us for the ride. If you're looking for something fun, educational, and free to do, we've got you covered. Come see for yourself.
All participants must RSVP beforehand by emailing us at ask@rebeccaeverlene.org
