SciTech is the Center for STEM Excellence's dedicated student learning lab. Located in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, SciTech engages middle and high school students in intensive hands-on, laboratory-based activities that stimulate thought and excite participants.
During a visit to the SciTech Student Learning Lab, students are challenged to develop hypotheses and delve into the world of scientific experimentation.
With seven different activities to choose from, educators are able to complement and enhance scientific concepts that are already being taught in the classroom. Each of our laboratory activities are based on real-world problems and issues, allowing students to apply the content knowledge they already possess in new and challenging ways. These lab activities are:
Each laboratory activity takes approximately 3 hours to complete and is offered every week day throughout the year. To schedule a visit for your middle or high school class, please review the lab activities listed above and then complete the reservation form. If you have any questions about the visit or would like to talk with one of the education and outreach staff to help in selecting an activity for your class, please call 410-385-6361 or e-mail scitech@towson.edu.
In addition, we offer customized lab activities based on requests from teachers and other groups such as Girl Scouts, homed-schooled students and after school science programs. During visits, the students not only learn science but also about career options in bioscience.
The cost is $10/student; chaperones and teachers attend free of charge.
