$99 for Science-Themed Summer Day Program, Birthday Party, or Afterschool Program for Kids (Up to $200 Value)

During the awesome activity week, students don a complimentary T-shirt and get busy building a robot, performing a real forensics test, or crafting inventions from basic materials. Each activity week consists of five days of three-hour programs; see the schedule for dates and locations.

The afterschool program sparks the joy of learning through 8–12 weeks of activities. Though the current curriculum has yet to be announced, past offerings have included All About Animals, Living in Space, Stunt Planes and Gliders, and Movie Effects. Not all classes are scheduled at every location; find out what is available in your area on the registration page.

The mad science party entertains up to 15 children on location or at the Northampton Adventure Lab (rental or travel fees may apply). During the party, kids participate in a hands-on science project, such as concocting their own slime or putty. Additionally, a science expert will perform for one hour before handing out a complimentary goody bag and poster to the birthday child as well as a science activity that each kid can practice at home. Experiments might harness static electricity, infuse everyday water with an unearthly glow, or set solid objects floating across nothing but a column of air. Mad Science takes care of everything from setup to cleanup and offers optional add-on shows such as a cotton-candy lab and dry-ice experiments. Parties at the Northampton Adventure Lab also include a hovercraft ride for each child and hands-on, interactive activities with electronic or magnetic gadgets.

Mad Science

Beginning with two brothers, a neighborhood full of spectators, and a helium-neon laser, Mad Science today deploys entertaining educators around the world to inject hands-on science programs with an element of fun. Nearly five million children annually enjoy accessible lessons, which may take the form of a weeklong summer day program or a birthday party that explains the physics of the Earth's revolution around the guest of honor. Schools host afterschool programs every year, which may include a NASA-approved astronomy series, a Rube Goldbergian introduction to simple machines, or an exploration into the science of toys. Living up to their promise of melding education and entertainment, Mad Science's experts have teamed up with scientists of screens large and small to produce live stage shows such as Star Trek Live, CSI: Live, and Movie Magic.

The Groupon Guide to: Reality Television

The latest fad in watching other people during their private time is watching them through a television. Make your own hit reality show using one selection from each of these categories:

The Star * A Hot Man
* A Hot Woman
* An Old Person Who Used to Be Famous

The Situation * The Man must find someone to mate with
* The Woman must find a way to function in society while still having so much fun
* The Old Person must struggle to stay alive and relevant

The Challenge * All of the Man's potential mates are full of sad, unsexy secrets about their past
* The Woman's friends and life are too fun and silly to accommodate a job
* The Old Person doesn't know about any Internet things and his or her kids don't want to help because it's annoying

Location * A penthouse in Mexico
* A mansion in LA
* A gutter in someone's personal hell
