This series of AfriClasses™ explores ancient African ideas and philosophies that are the basis of the science that we know today. We will first examine the ancient African understanding of matter and energy, then focus in on electricity and how it works and finally we will use all we learned to create a fun, hands-on projects. Note: For some classes materials will be sent via mail. For others, parents must provide the materials see each class for details. This is a live in person class that consists of 10 weekly 1.5 hour sessions. Best for Ages 8 to 14.
