| Greetings!
The sun is shining, the weather is getting warmer... it looks like spring might come, after all! And with spring comes spring break. How are YOUR kids spending their spring break? Would they like to mix chemicals, experiment with electricity, or design and build an amusement park ride? They can do this and more with The Works' fun and educational spring break classes.
And if they just can't get enough hands-on science and engineering, check out our great summer camps! Registration is now open - see below for details.
We hope to see you soon!

Visit Techville and Save the Integrated Circuit!
Who's Jack Kilby? W  hy, the inventor of the integrated circuit, of course! Integrated circuits are a tiny but essential part of every modern electronic device. Without integrated circuits, we wouldn't have cellphones, computers, mp3 players, digital cameras, or many other important appliances. In short, our systems of computing, communications, manufacturing and transport would not be able to function. But now the invention of the integrated circuit is in danger! Only you can stop the course of history from going disastrously awry. Visit Techville, the fictional home of Jack Kilby, and solve the mystery before it's too late! Click here to play the game.This fun and educational game is part of the large collection of fun and educational games at the official website of the Nobel Prize, www.nobelprize.org. Check out more of their great games here.

Summer Camp 2010
Registration is now open
You've
been waiting for it, and it's finally arrived. Registration is now
open for all of The Works' fun and educational summer camps.
 Mix up some goo, launch a rocket, design a house with working lights, and fling marshmallows with a catapult you build yourself!
The
Works' summer camps are ideal for girls and boys going into
kindergarten through grade 7 who love to explore, discover, design and
build. Campers have fun and learn how things work with hands-on
projects in many areas of science and engineering.
The
Works' camps are very popular, and many of them fill early.
