Science Education Resources for Homeschoolers

Parents, learn with your children using materials that you might not have at home (LEGO Mindstorm Robots, COSI’s Adventure and Labs In Life exhibits and more) to better understand real and relevant science concepts. Workshops include pre- and post-visit lessons for use at home to further your child's science inquiry. Participants socialize with other young scientists while exploring science careers, too! Upcoming Homeschool Workshop Topics (each workshop meets once for two hours): To make reservations, please call 614.228.2674 - registration closes one week before workshop.

COSI also offers professional experiences for homeschool students.
Youth age 12 and up are invited to join the COSI Team as volunteers. Earn a letter of recommendation, develop relationships with science educators and business personnel, and much more.

All COSI workshops align to Ohio Academic Content Standards.
