Welcome to the Supercharged Science Family!

One of my main goals with the eScience program is to help you untangle the madness of figuring out what your kid needs to learn and how to deliver it to them in a way that really sticks.

As a university instructor, I get to see the students coming into our engineering department, and well, long story short – I’m now doing something about their education level before it ever gets that far.

I know what your child needs to know and understand before they hit college (I am both in the field as a scientist and in the classroom!), and I’ve designed this science program to be for kids before they graduate.

Now you’re a member – now what?

If the online eScience program already looks overwhelming, you might find the Introduction Video a valuable use of your time. In less time than it takes to burn toast, you’ll get a bird’s-eye overview of how the program works. You can find the introduction video in the upper right corner of the main page.

There are eighteen principles in science, ten of which your child needs to know and understand before they hit college.  Those ten are what the eScience program is built on. You can view the syllabus for an overview of the program, but remember, you can do this program in any order you want.  And you’re going to quality, not quantity, so don’t feel like you need to do ALL the projects to get a good education.  Just do enough for your child to have their A-HA! moment.

I really want to encourage to you be an active member of our eScience program by posting comments and letting us know how the program is working for your family.  I really value your feedback – it’s really the only way I can continue to improve and get you what you need. By reading through other folk’s feedback on the site, you’ll find many suggestions are fulfilled the same week as they are posted – this program is really that responsive.

How Do I Get Started?

How to Get the Most Out of This Program

Families that get the most out of our online program keep three important things in mind as they work through the program:

• Know that you don’t have to finish all the projects in order to get a top-notch science education. Focus on quality, not quantity. I pack tons of content in the program so you can pick and choose the projects you want.
• Schedule time to do the program. This isn’t something that’s going to work by osmosis.  You actually have to open up the program and work through the projects.  I’ve taken the headache out of knowing what to do, but when you do it is still up to you.  Schedule an hour every other day, or make up a ‘Science Saturday’, or use it to stack the deck (“You can do science after you clean your room…”)
• Ask for help when you need it. There’s nothing more frustrating than not getting your questions answered.  Boy, I really hate it when that happens, especially when I am trying to learning something new!  This program includes friendly live tech support, and I’m usually right back with your answer with 24-hours.

How we stay in touch…

I’ll be sending you an email once in awhile letting you know about schedule updates, new projects, and teleclass reminders so you always know what’s coming. You can start with any unit, in any order – there’s no main sequence to follow.  This is your program that needs to work for your family.

Since we’re a small company staffed entirely by human beings, I totally encourage you to contact us if you ever have questions or need help. That said, I do get hundreds of emails and phone calls each week, so if I don’t get right back with you, please try again – our aggressive spam filter does its best to sort through the junk, but hey – it’s still a computer.

What’s next?

Your next step is to go to the main home page and watch the video in the upper right corner. This will show you how the site works and how to find the stuff you need quickly and easily.
