COVID 19 Update- Working on adaptation!

January 18, 2021.  Although we really miss visiting schools and doing hands-on projects, there are some "silver linings" to Covid.  Our Science Lecture program is now online and we are having wonderful participation, with over 50 households from around the world tuning in to recent offerings. We are also enjoying filling backpacks with Science books and materials for the Discovery Pack program at Kenny Lake, Glennallen, and Valdez Public Libraries.
WISE will continue to work with the School Districts and our partners to determine the safest ways to carry out our programs.  For the near future, they will continue to be mostly virtual.   For updates and more information, please check back here, call the WISE office at (907) 822-3575, or email contact@wise-edu.org.  Thank you for your patience, please stay safe and keep exploring!
