OUR 2025 INSTRUCTOR
Jason Alain DuLac
M.Sc. Counseling, Fitchburg State University
M.Ed. Specializing in science education, Worcester State College
B.Sc. Psychology
Jason has loved working with kids and teens since 1987 both in education as a sixth grade science teacher and as a mental health counselor. As a middle school Science Teacher he has directly engaged over 1000 students in child centered inquiry through use of the Scientific Method both in class and through their own Science Fair projects. Throughout his time as a Science Teacher he regularly employed hands-on learning activities, by introducing physics concepts through play activities with toy cars, dance/music, catapult construction, archery, the human body and more!
For decades Jason has held a passion for the science, history, art and sport of archery and also a variety of other martial art forms. Currently Jason works as a family therapist and brings a fun child centered approach to all of his lessons and activities.
Curriculum developed and tested by
William R. Short
Sc.D. Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
S.M. Electric Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
S.B. Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
William is the manager of Hurstwic, LLC, a Massachusetts-based firm that scientifically researches the Vikings, with a focus on their combat method, but with an interest in all things Viking. A special exhibit based on Hurstwic’s research in Viking-age iron smelting is now on display at the National Museum of Iceland, and Hurstwic’s book detailing the results of their twenty-year research program was published last year. William created training programs for younger Vikings both for Hurstwic and at the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester, MA.
Viking Science Program Curriculum
Learn about physics (mechanics), mathematics, experimental procedures, analysis of experimental results, and reasoning and logic using the study of Viking weapons and combat. Fun for the young Viking in your family!
And this would not be complete without imagining life for a child growing up on a medieval farm. What values and beliefs were taught? What can we learn from archeological finds? What would it have been like to be a Viking? Their society, and their place in history is fascinating!
“Edge on Science takes science off the page and puts it into the hands of your child.”
– Rondalyn Whitney, mom
“Edge on Science has been a wonderful learning experience for my grandson. He has enjoyed every minute of it (rocketry & bridge building).”
– Carole Bradley, grandmother
“Edge on Science went above and beyond to make sure our spring break program was fun and interesting. Well prepared!”
– Bernadette Kegan, program director, Acton-Boxborough School District
Why is Viking Adventures a good choice?
Your child will be taking a step back in time. Physics, mathematics, experimental procedure, analysis, reasoning and logic are packaged with fun activities, challenges and games. We inspire the pursuit of careers in applied science and engineering!
