The Upper Darby Township & Sellers Memorial Free Public Library is excited to partner once more with The Franklin Institute to present GSK Science in the Summer. The FREE program is intended for children entering 2nd through 6th grades in September 2025. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. 

All libraries will offer at least 4 of the 5 career activities as part of the program, using the same curriculum. All students completing at least 4 activities, will receive a complimentary ticket to the Franklin Institute. 

Please register each child in your family individually and register for both days (7/15 & 7/16) at the Primos Branch. 

Summer 2025- Be A Health Scientist!

The theme this year is Be a Health Scientist!  Health Science is all about finding ways to keep people healthy and helping them get better when they are sick.

● What are some ways people can stay healthy?

● How can we learn more about the spread of germs and diseases?

● What are some ways to help people get better when they are sick?

When those parts are unable to do their job, a health scientist can help in a variety of ways:

● Finding the cause of the problem through tests and identifying ways to fix it.

● Using specially designed equipment to help our body work.

● Making sure our body has what it needs to stay healthy.

Each activity highlights a STEM career and allows children to investigate, use scientific tools, gather information, and aims to increase their interest in STEM careers and their confidence in doing science. 

Activities will explore the following STEM careers:
● Athletic Trainer

● Cardiologist

● Dietitian

● Epidemiologist

● Orthopedic Doctor

The UDTL, Primos Branch will have the SIS program over the course of two consecutive days: Tuesday, July 15 and Wednesday, July 16 from 1:00 pm to 2:30.  Participants must attend both sessions.  

If you have additional questions about the program activities, please contact Joy at udpcsd@delcolibraries.org.
