Science Sparks
Igniting imagination and discovery through Science
Join the Club
At the Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy we want to make sure the love for science is sparked at an early age. Through Science Sparks, we will help connect the concepts your kindergarten and first grader are learning in class to the real world. Science Sparks will meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 10 am. Our first meeting will take place on Tuesday, September 12 at 10am.
