About the Program
Each Spring and Fall semester
Brewon-Parker College hosts a Math & Science Festival for
kids in grades K-12. Our goal is to promote and encourage
the discovery and enjoyment of science and math. The program
was begun in the Fall of 2002. The program
increases
in
size
each
semester.
Brewton-Parker's
division's of Math & Science and Education work together
with the Heart of Georgia
