Welcome to Mad Science of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill
We believe that fostering a love for science, technology, engineering and math at a young age will give children the confidence they need to excel in these fields. For over 30 years, Mad Science has focused on designing and testing experiments and activities that resonate with kids, allowing us to provide innovative, hands-on children's science programs to our communities.
At home activities!
Summer Camps are here!
We offer kids full-day and half-day camp experiences in live and virtual settings that are sure to entertain and delight! They will be wowed by green glowing liquid, messages written in secret code, autonomous robots, and mystery substances that change from solid to liquid in seconds. There's something for everyone!

Workshops and Virtual Classes and Shows for Organizations
Mad Science workshops and shows have always been an amazing addition to summer programs, and we are so happy we can continue that experience in the virtual world!
We continue to offer in person classes, and have modified many of our programs to be offered virtually. Generally this involves collecting some easy to find at home supplies, but for larger programs supply bags are available. Ages 4-11.
Birthday Parties: Outdoor and Virtual
We’re here to make sure that your child’s birthday is everything they’ve dreamed of! Our chemical reaction experiments, rocket launches, cotton candy making, and ready-to-go Goody Bags are sure to make their day extra special!
We have limited spots for parties in our Lab, and outdoor summer parties offer some sizzling science fun! Virtual parties are the ultimate "no-mess" experience in FUN!
Our Safety Precautions.
Mad Science is following all NCDHHS guidelines for in person programs to ensure the safety of instructors and kids.
This means your Mad Scientist will be wearing a mask, and will set up 6 feet from program participants. Kids may be provided with gloves to wear. Group size may be limited.
Don't worry, we won't compromise on FUN!

Mission: Code - On Demand and Independent Fun!
Parent Resources
At Home Experiments
It's important that children continue to learn and explore the world of science while schools are closed! In an effort to support parents with at-home learning, we’ve compiled a list of at-home experiments that you can do with your kids using household ingredients. Family time can be both entertaining and educational!
