Newton Summer Science Program: NSHS Science Team Offers Online STEM Classes for Grades 6-8

The Newton South HS Science Team is again offering its Newton Summer Science Program (NSSP), an online program started two years ago to teach middle school students (in Newton and beyond) about the subjects they will be learning in high school. This year the program will focus on subjects that students might not encounter directly at their high schools. Each class is one week long, meeting online 2 hours and 15 minutes a day, and is taught by qualified high school students who are passionate the subjects they teach. There is no fee to attend, but families are asked to make a donation to NSSP if they are able. (A donation of $10 per class is suggested, and larger donations are gratefully appreciated.)
