Four Newton South HS seniors — Phillip Amitan, Sonakshi Das, Emma Wang, and Tanya Zafira — have created Science4Kids to offer elementary students (ages 7-11) free online classes with science experiments about climate change. Their mission is to:

• “Make complex topics related to environmentalism more accessible and digestible to young people interested in educating themselves about the challenges our planet is facing” and
• “Create a platform for young minds to learn and to discuss ways that we can combat climate change and live more sustainably.”

Science4Kids offered its first sessions this summer. This fall, sessions will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5PM-6PM, starting with these:

• September 8 & 10: Recycling
• September 15 & 17: Renewable Energy
• September 2 & 24: Global Warming

There are 30 spaces available for the fall, organized into groups of 10. Space will be filled first-come/first-served. Register between August 31 and September 6. For more information, email 123science4kids@gmail.com.
