Terms and Conditions

Saturday Science is a free program for students ages 8–13. Our volunteer instructors are high school students and are not trained to provide specialized educational support; if your child needs assistance, a parent or guardian must remain present. Attendance is a privilege, not a right. Tickets are non-transferable, and repeated policy violations may result in loss of future participation. We have a zero-tolerance policy for misbehavior, disrespect, or property damage. Students who violate these expectations will be dismissed immediately and barred from all future STEM Training and Education Programs (STEP) at City of Hope. By registering, you acknowledge that participation is voluntary and agree to release City of Hope, its staff, and volunteers from any liability for injuries, accidents, or personal property loss during the program.
