Calling all Junior Scientists – Putnam Explorers Jr.!

New this year, our Putnam Explorers Jr. program will take your young scientist on an adventure in science through stories, songs and exciting hands-on activities that are sure to spark curiosity and imagination.

Individual class sessions may be purchased for $8 ($6/Putnam Members).
