Talcott Mountain Academy
Make the most of your weekends with our three-week full days (K-3) or six-week full days (4-8) Saturday programs, which provide hands-on discovery, exploration and research with guidance and skill building from Talcott scientists.
Built on a tried-and-true enrichment model, students gain exposure to new areas in science, nature, and tech, they build the skills of a practicing professional, and they embark on creating original products or projects. The thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of success are “baked in” to our Saturday programs.
Our topics vary seasonally, but include Robotics, Green Energy, Weather, 3D Printing, Ecology, Geology, Coding, Astronomy and more!
