Tiny Scientists

Science workshop for preschools & kindergartens

Science is about discovering the world, finding patterns and wondering "why?" This immersive workshop gives your early learners a safe, exciting and wonder-filled environment in which to explore, discover and be young scientists.

The workshop features over twenty hands-on experiments designed to engage the senses plus an entertaining final show to bring it all together. Step back and watch your students engage with the activities in their own unique and creative ways. Plus it's a great chance to take some fun, colourful photos.

Your students will leave our workshop with a big smile and an even bigger sense of curiosity.

available during school terms 1 & 2.
