Student Programs
Student Programs for K-12 students at the RPSEC served a total of 25,405 people during the 2006-2007 school year. Of that total, 20,590 were K-12 students from 97 schools encompassing 13 counties in both South Carolina and Georgia. This is a significant increase over last year, when we served 18,394 students from 62 schools.

This year a triple group from DeKalb County, Georgia traveled more than 2 1/2 hours each way to spend their only field trip for the year at the RPSEC. Their fifth grade classes rotated through a series of programs including “CSI Solutions,” “Circuit City,” and “Journey into the Living Cell.”

The top ten most popular of our 56 program offerings for 2006-2007 are listed below. The planetarium program “Blown Away: The Wild World of Weather” was by far the most well attended program of the year, serving 1,454 students.

The deadline has passed for reservation requests for the 2007-2008 school year. Once again, we have received many more requests than we will be able to serve. Teachers’ requests received after the June 15 deadline will be placed on a waiting list in the event of a cancellation. Please note that we are not able to accept reservation requests by telephone. We look forward to serving a record number of students this school year!
