Material Detail

Think Like a Scientist (TLaS) is a non-profit, after-school program run by a diverse team of volunteer scientists and students at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (CU AMC).

TLaS volunteers help elementary school children within the surrounding community explore the wonders of science under the guidance of faculty sponsor, Aimee Bernard, PhD. Together, they aim to inspire the elementary-aged young scientists about the basics of the scientific method through a mix of mini, interactive presentations and hands-on, fun experiments.

Our 8-week after-school program is designed to introduce basic concepts of scientific design and inquiry to elementary aged students through a mix of presentations from volunteers and hands-on experiments. The course culminates in an end-of-program celebration, where students can make a scientific poster on an experiment of their choice and show their work to their family and friends!
