The Mensa Foundation aims to help every participant build a lasting passion for science, one badge at a time.  \nTo participate in the Mensa Foundation Excellence in Science Program, follow these steps:  \n1. Select a workbook from the grade level bands available. Participants can choose any workbook that best fits their skills and interests.  \n2. Print the appropriate workbook and track each activity you complete by checking it off as you go. When you finish all the activities for a given badge, record the completion date on your badge sheet. Please complete the form by hand. We operate on the honor system, and we encourage honesty in this way.  \n3. Once you’ve completed an entire workbook by finishing every badge, both the participant and an adult will need to sign the badge sheet as verification and return it and the order form to the Mensa Foundation at the address provided. Once we’ve received your signed badge sheet and verified it, we’ll send you a recognition certificate and T-shirt. Please allow  \n6 weeks for delivery.  \n© The Excellence in Science Award program is the property of the Mensa Foundation, [mensafoundation.org. The](mensafoundation.org.
