Discover Science Center

Wonderful program, we also really love the after school program, and this was the first time we’ve done the summer camp. Our kiddo loved Ocean Science! My only issue is the start time at 8:30 (vs 8:00 for others we do) makes it really hard to do this.

Great experience and kids love it! The staff is so caring and lovely.

Would recommend! Lots of activities and learning packed into 5 days! My son especially enjoyed geode smashing and building a dinosaur habitat.

They always put on a good camp! My son had a blast, learned a lot, and was taken care of.

My daughter came home with only smiles and said she'd go back.

The ladies that work there were absolutely fantastic and my daughter had the best time. Definitely worth our drive.

RayRay loved this camp! He learned so much and was eager to share what he learned when he got home. Please add more physics rule camps!

My girls thoroughly enjoyed this session! Super fun and creative

Convenient
However minimally interactive and counselors by very engaging

My daughter came home covered in dirt and markers and told me all about how bees see the world differently than we do. LOVED IT!

My son thoroughly enjoyed every class in the marine science series. He learned a lot and was excited to tell me all about it after pick up. I would definitely recommend DSC as a supplement to homeschool education.

My 7yo loved learning about the parts of a plant and how plants make food. The instructor was engaging and patient with the kids.

My daughter is a Brownie and really enjoyed this session! She said the instructor is “really nice”.

As a parent, I think the instructor was very thorough, listened thoughtfully to all the kids in attendance, knew the subject very well, and made the presentation easy to follow along for the different age levels.

My daughter has been sending out digital “cards” for Valentine’s and the Puppy Bowl & is so excited to try more coding from here.


Highly recommend! Thank you for a great coding experience!

My 9 year old budding marine biologist had the best time and learned so much during Try Scuba! She can’t wait for the next adventure with Dr Tonya!

Awesome. The kids couldn’t stop talking about it all night and the next day. They thought it was the coolest thing ever.

my daughter said she really enjoyed this activity, and cant wait till she gets her patch

My daughter loved the fun activities relates to science

My daughter was engaged and participating throughout the whole class. She had a great time.

My scout had a blast! It was well organized and she likened it to her Nancy Drew books.

My son had so much fun touching the sea animals and seeing heart of the fish

The educational team at Discover Science Center really knows how to teach kids and keep them engaged. My daughter loves all of the science camps and wakes up excited every morning. We booked 5 this year and she loves everything about them!

My son liked going to camp, I just don't think he learned anything much related to forensic science. He said they did some experiments of the first day, a review on the last day. The camp was only 3 days. A little overpriced for what they seem to offer. No outdoor time, even when it did not rain, they were allowed to bring an electronic device for their off time. The after care service is a lady sitting on the chair and your child just waiting to be picked up.

Very nice staffs and he really enjoyed. Definitely recommend this place, especially your child loves the nature and science.

Great info & I like sharing what I learned with my family!

From my student: I really liked the class. It was amazing and I want to take it again.

He loved it! I already told my other friends and recommended the center.

I love this place! I'm looking for similar opportunities for my 5th grader who is not a Girl Scout.

I really enjoyed this activity! I hope to participate in more activities like this one.

She said it was fun and hopes they offer the other two badges.

I am 14 and have done other classes virtually that I enjoyed so I do plan to attend others and would recommend to my friends. However, the Science of Jewelry class wasn’t good due to the following:
1. Unclear instructions
2. Impatient instructor
3. Technology issues
4. Instructor asked questions but didn’t like our answers

My kids loved it, we can’t wait for Spring Semester to start!

“Very fun and interesting in a good way” says my 10 Year old attendee

Highly rated in our book! I have recommended this place several times over. My son is about to take his fourth class and they keep getting better and better. Lots of great info and hands on.

Dr. Tonya was amazing! She was so organized and ran the workshop with a lot of Daisies very well—kept them engaged, listening and they had so much fun. We will definitely return and highly recommend for Girl Scout events!

My daughter had such a fun time making slime. She was able to tell me all about how to make slime and what she did to make hers unique.

The class my son took with instructor Q, not only met, but exceeded my expectations. My son still raves about his experience. I would highly recommend this course or any other course.

My daughter really enjoyed this class. I think it helpful if you use an iPad or iPhone.

This camp was so fun for our Daisy Scout! The instructor was great with this age group. The experiments were engaging and exciting. We will definitely do another one of these activities!

Zaniyah really enjoyed it. She was telling her uncle about the glow stick experiment later.

Great learning - lots of talking, and learned things I didn’t know!

My daughters thoroughly enjoyed this Program and would love to do more like it. However, we're extremely disappointed that we were charged seperate Shipping & Handling charges for their boxes, yet the 2 boxes arrived together in the same lightweight package. There's no way it cost $20 to ship these EXTREMELY light boxes. Despite the Program's merit, we will likely NOT continue on with future programs like it due to the Shipping & Handling rip-off. There are much more affordable, worthwhile options available elsewhere.

This was so much fun!! I have never made anything with this yarn!!

My daughter enjoyed the Science of the Senses badge activity. She loved making the brain hat and guessing the scents in the little containers. The materials sent by Discover Science Center arrived in plenty of time and included all the necessary materials. Will definitely sign up for other activities through them.

My 8-year-old daughter loved it! So much fun all day. She liked the outdoor activity.

I was nervous that my 6- year old child would struggle to maintain her focus but the session was engaging and very interesting. Thanks!

We had an awesome time. Event was scheduled during a birthday party of Adyson Willis, a fellow Daisy. Such fun watching the girls focus, work together, and the bonding that will hopefully carry into later years. (Smile)

Fun and engaging. Gave my daughter a better understanding of what it entails and other opportunities available.

Amazing camp. My child came home loving all he had learnt and eager for the next day. A great balance of learning while having fun with lots of interesting hands on activities.

Both my daughters attended and said they LOVED IT!!!

Fun activities and it kept my daughter engaged. Our instructor did a wonderful job with the girls!

We loved it-the bee hotel was a lot of fun and my daughter is proud of it!

A lot of material was mainly for younger aged kids. Wanted a lot of more hands on classes.

What an amazing opportunity for my kid. She has a blast and we are already booked on the next one. An amazing family vacation and great learning experience for the kids.

My 6 year old had a wonderful week at camp. There were so many different activities and the staff was great. She was so excited to tell me what she learned.did each day!

My daughter loves joining these classes! She feels connected to the lesson and she loves that she's earned a badge at the end!

Discover Science Center has been an amazing way for my Girl Scouts to complete and experience different classes for their badges!

Engaging activities that help kids learn about a variety of scientific topics. Great communication and easy process to sign up.

My daughter really loved the activities in this class. I could tell that she also really liked and respected Dr. Tonya.

My daughter absolutely loved this class. It’s her second one with Discover Science Center and they are clearly our favorite company that puts these on.

My son enjoyed all the classes and I’m so glad we found you

Lillian was very excited throughout the entire class, she learned some interesting facts about sea monkeys, and cannot wait for her eggs to hatch. The instructor was very patient with the girls and very knowledgeable.

The girls had a great time and are looking forward to the next one

Was difficult for students independently. Materials were a great addition!

My daughter absolutely loved it. She especially liked the part about the shark

I have an 11 year old who finds learning tiresome but she really enjoyed this program. She was engaged throughout.

My daughter loved this workshop, learned a lot and is looking forward to the next one.

I had some much fun designing and making my fairy door. It’s so nice to be able to design and do things in a judge free zone. Everybody did an amazing job!

He enjoyed the inventors laboratory. He liked the projects and learning.

Both my daughter and son attended the virtual zoom event. They had a blast, the instructor was wonderful and they made a mess! LOL

The girls had a fun time making inventions, thank you so much!!!

The instructor was amazing - would definitely recommend and repeat!

My daughter had so much fun at this event! Will definitely do more. Very educational in a fun way.

I would highly recommend this workshop! The Engineering Challenge for our Brownie troop was wonderful. The girls learned a lot and did a lot of fun hands on activities. What made it even more special was the facilitator Candra (sp) She was positive, calm, , listened, and accepted everyone.

Great as always. My daughter is 8-years-old and loves learning about rocks and minerals.

Daughter is 6 had some struggle to understand it, but overall she said she loved it. She said if she had the choice to do it again she said she would. Thank you for having it.

I have 2 boys aged 8 and 10 . We just started this class and the boys have loved it. It’s very hands on and fun in their words. They get in the car and talk 90 to nothing about the cool things they did. I love seeing my boys happy and learning!

Wonderful program! My Scout had a lot of fun and learned so much.

My daughter enjoyed this so much! The instructor did an amazing job teaching this virtually and made sure no one was left behind. Since the event, my daughter has been playing on the website they used in all of her free time and has asked me to keep my eye out for more events like this!

Great! My daughter is truly enjoying it. Great skill to learn and fun interaction.

The Cadette Special Agent program was not bad. I feel that the instructor was a little stern for a Girl Scout Program.

My daughter loves Discover Science centers online classes!

My brownie Girl Scouts really enjoyed this activity. I found it to be pricy($87 for 3 girls to participate) but, the girls we’re learning and very excited to participate.

This camp was not all that was described. My child indicated that they just "played with legos all day long." So basically child care with legos.

I had fun and want to do more. I liked the coding basics and can't wait for the game design!!

It was excellent! My daughter loved learning how to code.

My three Brownies love the activity and so did us moms!

Our son Jack had an absolute blast! I want to send him every week. So much joy!

My daughter loved this class! She loved when the chemical reaction fizzed! The slime came out perfect! She was engaged the entire time. I can’t wait to do more classes through the Discover Science Center.

My daughter loved the science activities! I appreciated that the directions were easy to follow.

It was great. Very fun and enjoyable. Easy to follow along with.

Our daughter enjoyed participating. She feels welcomed by the instructor and a part of the community even though she knows none of the other participants.. Can’t wait to continue on these short, effective Discovery programs online.

We forgot about this activity. Can we do the online session later session?

It’s pretty far for us but my 2nd grader has enjoyed his two classes so it’ll be a once in awhile thing for us.

My daughter loved this activity. She had so much fun and keeps looking at the pumpkins she made. Very cute idea!

Teacher was engaging and there was good robust content. Well done!

Miss Tina led an excellent session for "Measuring with Leaves" which our Daisy really enjoyed! The activities included in the session were age appropriate and INTERESTING for our Daisy. When my daughter had a question about a concept which Miss Tina had described - but my Daisy hadn't caught the first time - Miss Tina did a great job re-explaining/re-wording in a way that my daughter could understand. A fun activity with relevant scientific principles described in an age appropriate way. Thank-you so much, Miss Tina!!

Ms. Coral was excellent! I learned a lot myself from the session. I could see that all the students were engaged. My son is autistic though and has an attention span of just 30 minutes. I would be very pleased if shorter sessions were offered.

Excellent class! The time went really fast and kept my daughter's interest the entire time.

Would have loved to have a print out of the syllabus or some form of communication with parent showing greater depth of what was being taught. At the end of the class, my child could not tell me much about what had been discussed beyond, “We talked about rocks.”

Communication with the instruction was excellent, but it seemed a little complicated or maybe too advanced for my daughter who doesn’t have much computer experience. She has fun once everything came together but trying to introduce programming at the same time was a little beyond many of the girls who had to constantly ask help from their parents.

My daughter absolutely loved it!! She's continued to use the sites after the class.

This class was Amazing! Our daughter really enjoyed it and was able to learn so much in an hours time. The speaker was absolutely fantastic! She managed to make the class fun while also keeping it informative. We will definitely be signing her up for more classes.

Such a fun class. It was a little on the hard side. My daughter needed me to be next to her just because it was so new. The end result was so exciting and my daughter can't wait to try more on her own.

Kaylee enjoyed the program and enjoyed conducting the excitement.

This field trip was amazing. My kiddo had lots of fun and can't wait to do another one. I will definitely keep looking at this site for more fun activities for her to do. Too much fun was had to snag a photo.

Once again another fantastic activity for my girl scout!

The Science of Magic was fun, informative and well planned to teach some really cool science concepts. Thanks for being a great online host and teacher !

This was well organized and very informative, but on a level my 6 year old could understand. Great job. Thank you.

I signed up both of my girls for a week of Nature Science camp and they really enjoyed it. The instructors did well with moving along the conversation, which can be a challenge with remote learners at times. They all also checked in with each learner. I appreciated getting most of the supplies in the box. My only comment would be that there was an envelope called "dissection kit" on the label, but I think on the sheet it was called "science kit". The instructions mentioned to obtain this "from home" and there was a note on the paper what a "science kit" was, but we didn't realize that this envelope WAS the science kit until we opened it for the owl pellet dissection on the last day. In any event, everything was smooth and my girls really enjoyed learning something different every day.

The first three days were pretty good. The last couple, they were just listening and watching things on the computer for the most part. Would have liked them to have had substantial hands-on activities every day of the week.

The instructor was great. It was informative and fun and the girls were engaged.

My daughter Annabelle is a first year Daisy. She was excited to work on her space badge. She had a great time and learned some new things. The activities were fun and engaging. The leader did a great job having the girls ask and answer questions. We will definitely recommend the online programs to others.

There are lots of opportunities for my daughter to learn. The classes are fun, age appropriate, and affordable

My daughter loved it!!! She did miss two classes yesterday due to me having a medical emergency

My 10 year-old daughter absolutely loved mini-med school! She attended all 4 zoom sessions and never got bored! Great hands on activities!!

My 10 year-old daughter absolutely loved mini-med school! She attended all 4 zoom sessions and never got bored! Great hands on activities!!

Very interesting. We learned so much within this hour. The rocks were nice on the outside and one took long to break. When they broke they were so cute inside.

It was well organized, very fun and informative! Kid loved to learn and do experiments with instructors.

Highly recommend this camp! My kids had a fantastic time at Discover Science camp. They came home raving about all the great activities and cool experiments they created. It’s great to see academics presented in a clever and enjoyable fashion. We will be back next year for many weeks.

Another Great Zoom class with Discovery Science Center. Our brownie GS troop had enjoyed a few and this one was GREAT!! (From the girls). Thank you for these programs, it allows the girls to see so many new topics and give them an opportunity to explore possible new careers.

Great class! Dr. Tonya was engaging and informative.

I have recommended the Discover Science Center to many friends. Of all the online programs my 7-8-year-old child has done, this has been the best. Excellent teachers , real engaging activities, friendly community. One night I work up to discover my kid continuing to dissect the day’s owl pellet!

The science class was great! Engaging, with fun activities. Learned a lot!

We took 2 classes this week and are eager to come back for more!

It was engaging and my daughter loved the activities planned for this zoom badge work.

My daughter loved this class! The instructor was great and made sure to include all the girls. She enjoyed showing off her Bristle Bots!

My daughter has enjoyed the many online classes that DSC has offered this year! She has earned so many Girl Scout badges she exceeded what the 2nd year Juniors had earned. She loves all the hands on and the amazing teachers that share and teach. Thank you so much for all of the opportunities!!!

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the online program. She was hooked from beginning to end!!

Very fun and engaging! We learned some new things about rocks and geodes!

The class was great! Very interesting. We love the instructor! She’s led other classes that we’ve attended, and every time she does a wonderful job letting the kids participate and ask questions.

My 9yo boy really enjoyed this class. He got to mix his own creativity into the robot coding and had lots of fun at the same time. He loved his teacher and staff. He has attended a few different classes here, and they are always engaging and fun. We always recommend the Discover Science Center to people who ask.

The Girls loved it. We added a little battery tea light and made it even for a night light in their bedrooms. Thank you so much for this, it was great.

My daughter loved all the info and making the bee condo.

Alayla thoroughly enjoyed! We are sad the badge was not included.

My GS troop really enjoyed learning how to code line by line with Ms. Tina! She was patient, went slow so they could follow, and tried to get input from them at different points. She did the basic code and then showed them how they could switch it up to make the card "their own." Several of them showed me their cards the next day at school! Thanks Ms. Tina!

My GS loves these VL sessions! I love that I can keep her active with GS all the while keeping her home safe. She enjoys the teacher and activists!

My daughter absolutely love these labs. With this pandemic, it wasn’t enough for her to just do online schooling, which became boring to her. These STEM LABS gave her hands on activities that she truly enjoys.

Was great, my daughter was fully engaged and had a blast!!!

We were unable to get into the Meeting. I told Allison not to worry about it because I was sure there would be a make up session that was recorded but there doesn't seem to be. Please advise.

This was a terrific workshop! The kids had a great time, and the instructor was so patient with the participants and very skilled at managing an online classroom setting.

The instructor was excellent! Very engaging. The girls requested to sign up for more GS events!

My daughter loved the class! She enjoyed making the bird feeder and seeing pictures of different birds.

My Girl Scout loved this activity! Now she wants to make everyone a bath bomb!!

My daughter loves it. The instructor was very nice!

Wonderful, full of information and so patient waiting for the girls responses and questions.

My daughter had a great time. Project was difficult for the girls, no unicorn that came out good. But she had fun trying to do it.

My daughter loves helping her Dad when he is 3D printing. She now feels like she has a better understanding of all of the parts, how it works and a better understanding of the programing.

It is fun because we got to make boats and see if it floats or sinks.

It was very well done. You could tell the instructor has worked with Brownie age girls before. Lots of patience. Experiments were geared to their level. Really enjoyed it. Had 3 moms email me about how much their daughters enjoyed it and thanked me for setting it up!

The event was well organized, but I think it may have worked a bit better if there had been separate classes for the younger girls and older girls. My daughter said she'd love to see a more advanced class on sharks.

It was very very fun, but it only took me 20 minutes to solve the puzzle. Once the 20 minutes were over, it was boring waiting for other people to solve the puzzle. I couldn't really help people because the instructor said we couldn't help, so I sat there for the remaining time, doing nothing.

My daughter (10) has taken multiple single-day online courses to earn some girl scout fun patches as well as just have fun with science. She has loved every single class. Thanks to all the teachers for such enjoyable experiences!

My 9 yr old daughter absolutely loved it. She enjoying learning all about flight and making a paper airplane too.

My Girl Scout daughter earned some (not all) of the steps toward her Junior Flowers badge with this online event. The instructor was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She used a microscope and showed us close up views of flower parts. They even watched a short video of what colors humans, butterflies and bees actually see on a flower. The girls got to dissect a flower and talk about its parts and their functions too. I would definitely recommend this class!

I loved it and I thought that it was cool how she included examples of her own trip underwater.

Both my girls had a great time during this program!

I give Unicorn Science a 5 star rating considering it was a completely virtual event. It went smoothly for my daughter and she had a lot of fun!

My daughter had a blast getting messy with unicorn science!!! She even thanked me for signing her up! We will definitely be looking for more activities to experience.

The unicorn science was fun and interesting! I wish it had been divided more by age though so that the older scouts could dig a little deeper with the terms...

Highly recommended! Awesome class. My granddaughter is still tinkering with the LED lights. It has kept her engaged days later.

We have had multiple good experiences with Discover Science Center classes. My daughter always has fun and enjoys the interactions.

Absolutely amazing! My daughter struggles in science, while doing this class she realized just how much she does know. She felt so smart an inspired!
Thank you!

It was great. Thank you so much for offering this for the girls.

My daughter loved the class and would like to take more classes with this teacher. I was unable to find a way to search by teacher so id love a link to this teachers classes. Thank you!

My daughter absolutely loves all of the Girl Scout activities that are offered here!

Great program that helped reinforce the knowledge of what tools are used to help keep our information safe online.

Outstanding! The dissections were icing on the cake!

Both of my girls loved the Unicorn Science activity they want to keep learning about science. I missed our scheduled zoom meeting and asked to be rescheduled and was accommodated which was great. The instructor was great both my girls liked the instructor and was very informative. I would definitely recommend this activity to family and friends. Thanks

Super cute activity. My 9 year old wasn't sure what to expect at first but as soon as she started tinkering with the materials she was hooked! The presenter was very upbeat and attentive. Nice job .

So engaging and informative!!! The activity with the printable handout was especially fun and educational! Presenter (Tina) was so fun and prepared an awesome presentation to allow girls to complete badge requirements!

Leader was very engaging and inclusive! My daughter enjoyed the meeting and had fun learning about circuits and electricity.

My daughter really enjoyed the lab. She keeps checking to see how the germs are growing.

It was fun and I learned some new things. I didn't know what shrimp ate or how to feed them. I plan to share the fun with my girl Scout leader and purchase items to incorporate this into a camp activity.

This was our first virtual class and it was awesome. My daughter enjoyed it very much. The teacher was engaging and she kept the kids entertained. She did a very good good job of "teaching" the material before they started the experiment.

My 6 year old daughter had a great time participating in this activity.

Fun fun fun! I subscribed to the weekly class my 9 year old daughter loved it!

The class my son participated in was on simple machines. I thought is was a great class! The teacher's instruction was clear and helpful, in addition to being encouraging and patient. My son learned and was challenged in this class which I loved!

Supply box shipped quickly. Video was great and instructional. Badge was cute, and Skittles candy was left over. Would love another hands on chemistry video!

The majority of the attendees were young girls (6-8) and my daughter is 11. She was very put off with the immaturity of the girls, even after we discussed being patient with younger learners. Most of the Juniors we have talked about workshops with have had the same reaction. Maybe some of the workshops could be for younger/older girls only? The facilitator was very good, took time to explain and was helpful.

This was really cool because she showed us lots of photos and videos and tells us about it and when she showed us the video with the shark with her. I was like WOW!!

My daughter got a little anxious during the time the instructor was explaining how to design on a piece of paper. She explained a little too long at a time (for 7-yo like mine), and we couldn't see what she was doing because we had to scroll often from and to her screen.

But, it's Zoom. It's awkward. We liked the instructor, and I appreciate all her encouraging words to the girls. We enjoyed the event very much.
