Afterschool Programs (K-6)

Our Mount Washington Observatory education team is ready to provide learning opportunities after the bell rings with our new afterschool program offerings. Our play-based, interactive programs are designed to keep students actively learning about weather, climate, climate change and data literacy utilizing NGSS. Offered as an enrichment program once a week (45-60-minute programs). 

In this 6-week-long afterschool series, students will explore what it means to be a weather observer and learn the skills to be one themselves. Through play-based, interactive programs they’ll learn to record weather data, build a weather instrument, and even talk with a MWOBS scientist! This series culminates with students receiving a unique MWOBS Junior Weather Observer certificate and badge. Program length and frequency can be adapted.
