About

I'm Ian Stuart, the founder of Atomic School. I've taught chemistry in Queensland schools for more than 30 years (some of that time doing science incursions with Atomic School).

I started out as a secondary school teacher, but about ten years ago I realised kids as young as 4 can start to understand the basics of atomic theory - as long as it's taught to them the right way. Read more about me here and listen to a story about me on ABC Radio National's Science Show here. .

Since then, I've dedicated myself to creating resources and running classes (science incursions) to bring Atomic School to kids.

Now, I've teamed up with some other enthusiastic parents and educators to bring Atomic School classes to the general public. Hope to see you at one of our classes soon!
