Presentation format:

• WhyAway! has been used successfully as a pull out program during the school day, one hour/week for six to eight weeks for each unit.  Schools often offer the first units before the Christmas break, then second and third units between Jan. and May.

• WhyAway! activities are designed for six to twelve student participants. Schools with large enrollments (3+ classrooms per grade level) often teach two WhyAway! sessions concurrently at each grade level.

• Program is adaptable to varying school needs – may be run as before/after school program, as a summer enrichment program, etc.
