One parent from Rancho Cordova, CA, reports that her son loves science and that she appreciates the opportunities Mad Science gives to young kids. A parent from Greensboro, NC, shares that her son has attended Mad Science after-school programs every year starting in kindergarten and that he has been excited after each class to talk about what his Mad Scientist did. Another parent from Boca Raton, FL, describes her son coming home on Fridays with an enthusiastic stream of science facts and stories of experiments and demonstrating what he has done with the kits Mad Science gives him to take home.
