Celsius and Beyond

This science program's motto is, "real science, serious fun." Celsius and Beyond is true to its word, offering hands-on activities that focus on the building blocks of science in order to understand advanced concepts and to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Classes:
Weekday afterschool classes for kids in grades K–6 dive into exploring the human body, digging into chemistry and nutrition through cooking and baking, learning about diseases through technology, among other amazing topics.

Sign up your math wiz for Funmatics, a unique math program that meets once a month for five months. Learn the math of spirals, mazes, games, and more.

Camps:
Celsius and Beyond is a boutique science camp for small groups of 10 to 14 kids each. Week-long sessions are offered in cell biology, physics, chemistry, and math. Teachers are either scientists from UCSF and SFSU or professionals. Through fun hands-on activities, kids learn in-depth about science topics that are relevant to their lives and demonstrate the inner connectivity of different science disciplines.
