Workshop registration for CFK 2009 begins in May!

All CFK participants will have the opportunity to explore three subject areas. The workshops are taught by UW professors, academic staff, community professionals and experts in their fields with emphasis on hands-on experience. Various workshops are offered in four spheres of learning: Biological Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, and Physical Sciences.

The philosophy of this program is to provide a safe learning environment which promotes children's respect for originality, openness to new perspectives, and hesitation before passing judgment. We want children to discover self-motivation and responsibility for their own education. Students participate in this program to explore the myriad of educational possibilities.

Now it's time to pick your top 5 favorites!

Workshops are grouped into groups of 3 to assure a variety of experiences.
