What is it?

GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer is a free science education program that helps elementary school children in the greater Philadelphia area “grow into science.” Through classes held in your local public library, the program gets kids excited about studying science with hands-on experiments.

Science in the Summer is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in partnership with local libraries.

GlaxoSmithKline's Science in the Summer will be returning to libraries this summer. 2012 Course information will be available in April 2012. Check back for more information.

• About the Program

In our research labs, GSK scientists are working to understand the basis of common diseases and why people respond differently to medicines. This knowledge will help GSK discover and develop new medicines to improve the quality of life. For more information, visit http://www.gsk.com/research/about/about.htm.
