Ever wonder why people do the things they do? Become a Psych Detective and uncover the mysteries of human behavior! In this hands-on after-school program, you’ll explore how people think, feel, learn, make decisions, and interact with others. You’ll get to ask your own questions, design and run psychology experiments, collect clues (data!), and discover what the results tell you. No psychology experience is needed—just bring your curiosity! If you love asking questions, solving mysteries, and figuring out how people work, Psych Detectives is for you!
