MOBILE SCIENCE WORKSHOPS
Our Primary School Mobile Science Workshops are always a winning way to get STEM in your school. With a wide range of topics, a flexible schedule and most importantly great content, we visit your school and bring some magic to Science, without the cost and hassle of a bus. Each workshop takes place in your classroom and is fully interactive and hands-on. We provide all equipment.
In general, the workshop takes place in the childrens’ own classroom. We spend one hour per classroom and depending on the size of your school, we can bring multiple facilitators to run workshops simultaneously.
Below are our available workshops, we work with you to choose a date and we fit around your timetable. Each class may choose a different workshop if they wish.
