What Parents Are Saying
Matthew has an awesome time on Friday and he is still talking about it! I love seeing him get so excited about learning! He is now thinking he wants to be a scientist instead of a neurosurgeon.
I have received your videos thank you I can't wait to watch them with Matthew over the holidays and we look forward to seeing you at the next holiday workshop!
Thanks again

My son, Thomas, is not generally one to discuss his day in depth, but after today’s Science workshop he spoke non-stop about the activities and what he’d learnt.
You’ve definitely piqued his interested! He’s excited for the next workshop!
Thank you!

My son is super-keen in science and he needs more than what he’s receiving at school. As a teacher my observations of the workshop were fantastic. The children were really engaged, they learnt a whole lot, they had a lot of hands-on experiences which is really fun for them. They came back really excited and told me lots of new things. As a teacher and a mum I feel these outside-school programs for the children are super important. They get to experience things that they don’t get in the classroom. They get to have their hands engaged and learn new things. While my son is here enjoying the day and having fun, I feel it sets them up for the future and he’s able to better engage in his high school curriculum having had these hands-on experiences and having a deeper understanding. It will really make him confident and calm in high school.

Our workshops cater for all primary and middle high school students. We are able to explain complex ideas in child-friendly ways so all kids can clearly "get it".
Students from 8 years of age can grasp the deeper scientific concepts faster, while students from 5 to 7 years of age can confidently learn when a parent joins to support them (no extra charge).
It's fun for all ages, including parents.
A parent can join the workshop for no extra charge. Please contact us for availability.
