How to Apply
You can apply through the website here.
Participants are chosen by lottery, not on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline is today, June 17!
It seems that up to 3 elementary school students can apply with one application.
There are quite a lot of appealing programs, so it’s best to pick about two craft-based ones and quickly decide your top three choices required for the application.
Finally
Just like summer vacation homework, it’s common to leave independent research crafts until the last minute. Since children can go with a guardian and enjoy it like a summer vacation outing while also finishing their independent research homework, it’s a win-win. Be sure to make use of it.
