Programs that illuminate the wonders of the human body
The Health Education Center provides visitors with a creative, interactive learning environment that supplements the education efforts of schools, families and community organizations. One of the most popular presenters is Pandora, a life-size, three dimensional, transparent talking woman who highlights anatomy and physiology while giving viewers a look inside the incredible human body.
“Loved the instructor’s energy and management of kids.” – Delaware County School
With eye-popping displays and sophisticated audio-visual technology, we offer children the chance to learn about themselves in four vitally important areas: general health, food and nutrition, drugs and alcohol, and family life. Information is presented in a factual and nonjudgmental manner.
Fun, engaging learning opportunities for children
Our programs are a perfect supplement to your school health and science curriculum requirements, and the programs also meet the Pennsylvania Standards for Science and Health Safety and Physical Education.
