[UTSA] Fun with Science: Mad Scientist!
taught by Diya Datta, Wednesday evenings 6-8pm from 4/1/26-5/6/26
Available spots
Service Description
In this class, students will perform fun and interactive science experiments. Each class will explore a different scientific activity. We will make stretchy slime and create electricity using lemons. Students will also try “no-effort balloons,” observe different organisms through a microscope, and create oobleck, a substance that behaves like both a solid and a liquid! The class includes a special mystery science day where students perform a surprise experiment with a special guest scientist. Throughout the course, students practice observation, creativity, and scientific thinking in an exciting, accessible way. This class aims to foster curiosity, build confidence, and make science feel approachable and exciting.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
