Chemistry (note 2)
Explore the wonders of the chemistry world. The students will have the chance to participate in several exciting chemistry experiments in a real chemistry lab. 
By then end, students will concoct a gooey substance to take home as proof of their chemistry expertise!

Drama
Students interested in the world of theatre will have the opportunity to discover the acting world on stage in MTA's own various types of theatres!
Students will learn group improv, familiarize themselves with theatre lingo and play theatre games to further their acting skills! Ever wanted to become as famous as your favourite movie star? Here's the place to start!
