About the provider

Rock-It Science holds camps and classes on the campus of St. Jude’s Episcopal Church in Cupertino. The campus includes a classroom space, shaded tables, lawns, a playground, parking lot areas for larger, messier experiments, and an indoor lab space with additional space outside. The source also says a new classroom space opened in Fall 2023, and equipment like Tesla coils, Van de Graaf generators, lab tables, and chairs was brought back.

The source says the classes are not 'age appropriate'; they do not teach concepts, vocabulary, and facts; they do not collect, calculate, or tabulate numbers; they do not use kits or 'cookbook science'; they keep secrets about what will happen in experiments; and they do dangerous things including hot glue guns, sharp knives, matches, high voltage, and dangerous chemicals. For high school chemistry, prerequisites include being able to reliably follow instructions, having completed Algebra 1, and age 14+.
