WonderKids 2024 – 2025

What is a WonderKid? WonderWorks’ WonderKids program highlights student achievement in the categories of Strength through Adversity and Future Scientist. Part of WonderWorks’ educational mission is to make science fun and entertaining. WonderKids is a way to recognize students in the community who not only take an interest in science, but also those who have pushed themselves beyond what they thought was possible.
