University of Vermont Extension 4-H is sponsoring this free learning opportunity for students entering Grades 7-12 in the fall. The series also includes one workshop for Grade 9-12 students on rocketry and another for Grades 2-5 on bees. Space is limited for these hands-on, in-person sessions, so early registration is advised. Registration for each workshop closes one week in advance to allow organizers time to send required paperwork, directions and additional information.
