2014 Summer Game Days

This summer, PERC will be hosting it's 5th year of "Teen summer game days."

 The game days will be every 2nd Wednesday of each summer month. The days are June 11th, July 9th, and August 13th, at 2-3pm, in the Media Auditorium at the Orem Library.

This event is for Teenagers and Tweens. We feel that as long as a Tween (ages 9-11) can understand game play they will fit in fine.

We will play board games that are available at PERC. These games range in topic; from thinking and reasoning, to math, to word games, to geography, and also general board games.

In the picture to the right you can try out one of the games that will be featured in our first game day on June 11th.

We hope that you will come and join us for one hour of fun.

"A favorite item at PERC is the Science Crafts for kids. If you have a kid/kids that love to create, invent on their own, and love challenge, this is a book to consider. A long hours of trial and errors, hands on activities in science build confidence and who knows? a budding future scientist!" -Lily
