• A 45-minute animal and insect presentation
• Hands-on activities
• Tableware, cupcakes, and drinks for up to 25 people<p>

During science classes, kids 4 and older soak up a weekly changing curriculum inside the science academy’s 2,400-square-foot facility, with classes covering scientific subjects such as animals, insects, weather, and the human body. Pupils can participate in activities such as feeding demonstrations with tarantulas and lizards or painting with cockroaches. Birthday parties treat guests to a similar lineup of activities, with guests devouring cupcakes and sipping drinks between hands-on lessons that fuse entertainment and education better than the MIT faculty’s weekly game of flashlight tag.

Saturday classes run from 9 a.m. to noon. Weekday classes are available Tuesday evenings from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday mornings from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.<p>
