Celsius and Beyond has offered science camps since 2007. The program runs science camps and science workshops for kids and youth, including science day camps, spring camps, winter camps, and single-day camps during school closures, as well as an afterschool program held at the studio on Balboa Street @ 3rd Ave. Weeklong deep dives distill the greatest hits of college-level science courses into activities designed just for kids, using hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and projects where students work collaboratively to solve problems. The program also offers a First League Robotics (FLL) team that starts each year in August and workshops that add engaging and educational science experiments to school science programs.
Celsius and Beyond’s mission statement says its science camps provide youth in grades 1–9 with an opportunity to learn, grow, and play while exploring scientific concepts and skills, with scientist instructors who bring their expertise and love of science to create fun, educational camps that foster curiosity and confidence. The mission statement also says each camp strives to equip campers with the imagination and confidence to think creatively and strategize in their missions while developing critical thinking skills, and that learning to think scientifically means seeking out verifiable information, evaluating evidence, and constructing new beliefs and theories supported by the strongest evidence. The mission statement notes that, in complex informational landscapes, practice in scientific thinking can empower participants to direct their own learning and distinguish fact from fiction.
The founder is Auritte Cohen-Ross, who spent 12 years in the high tech industry in Silicon Valley and is a cum laude economics graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia. Staff credentials listed include Harrison Li, M.S UCSF Med School; Lila Farrington, Ph.D. UC San Francisco; Sedona Ewbank, Ph.D Stanford University; Jae Seo, M.A. UC Berkeley; Kimberly Chacón, Ph.D UC Davis; Shraddha Tiwari, MFA Pratt Institute; Lena Gold; Kit Schulte; Jazmine Anderson, B.A UC Berkeley; Faith Lesuer, B.A Cal Poly; and Gayatri Shet, M.A Academy of Art University. Celsius’ team won at the 2016 San Francisco Science Fair, Gold Level, best Prizes competition.
Parent testimonials describe the programs as fantastic in terms of substance and delivery, with teachers who are high energy, have deep knowledge, and connect with kids to translate complex ideas into hands-on learning projects, and note that information from camps such as DNA extraction from a strawberry and Ballistics Camp projects has stayed with their children. Another parent reports that a 9-year-old daughter was very excited for dissection camp after learning a lot in Surgery! camp, and that the camp spurred interest in anatomy and physiology, including remembering bone names and structures during an orthopedist visit. A third testimonial says Celsius and Beyond has been a great experience for a 10-year-old daughter over many years, describes the camp as well organized, very fun and very educational, and notes that the child recalls advanced terms and complex topics months or years later and wants to return to learn more, even from camps that sound less scientific, such as metalsmith.
