Leap Into Science Washington (South Puget Sound) - Balance Workshop

Leap into Science is a nationwide program developed by The Franklin Institute Science Museum that integrates open-ended science activities with children’s books, designed for children ages 3-10 and their families.

• Receive ongoing support and become a part of a Leap into Science National Network
• Have access to the national Leap into Science leadership team and online resources
• Participate in ongoing evaluation activities (i.e. surveys, interviews, site visits)
