Irving Art of Science (IAOS)

Irving Art of Science (IAOS) offers hands-on science, engineering, and technology education that uses experimentation as a method of learning. The program uses a curriculum tailored to the needs of young minds, with each session featuring a new topic and including both lab work and time at the board discussing what students learned. Students also learn how to type lab reports and summaries to explain what they have learned.

• Ages: 2–12 years old

Irving Art of Science empowers students in science, engineering and technology while teaching them how to think, and states that its goal is to give children tools for science, learning in general, and life. The program describes its approach as fun and challenging, with a hands-on, interactive teaching model that makes science accessible to children and emphasizes both scientific principles and current environmental issues, as well as the beauty and art in science. It offers after-school elementary programs, weekend classes, and summer camps for students 2–12, and uses the phrase “Creating Tomorrow's Innovators Today” to summarize its focus.
