Sidnie Kulik, a 16 year old going into junior year at the Noble and Greenough School and former Pierce and Day student, is planning a fun and free monthly science experiment club opportunity for kids in 3rd-5th grades. This past year Sidnie ran a successful book club for 3rd and 4th graders, but decided to focus on science instead for a few reasons.
She says, “First, it is important to expose children to different subject matters. Second, it is easier for both the parent and the kid to not have to purchase and read the assigned book before meeting. Third, science is my favorite subject and I hope to share this passion with children.”
Contact her at sidniekulik8888@gmail.com or 617-485-9109 if your child is interested. You can also find out more @scienceandkids on Instagram.
