Hands-on Science
Hands on Science is one of the UK's leading independent science communication organisations. They work all over the country bringing science to life with children, they also have their own network of after-school clubs. As their name suggests Hands on Science get the children doing the science investigation under their Workshop Leader's expert guidance. With over 80 workshops developed for the Tomorrow's Achievers children they always come up with something fresh, engaging and challenging. There is no script, as their breadth of knowledge enables them to take the workshop in any direction the children are interested in as the workshop develops. At the beginning of a session you will find Mark asking why the children are interested in the topic of the day and what they would like to learn about - he then builds a day around their needs and interests. Hands on Science workshops are available to any school who wants to run their own science club using our box rental scheme STEMBOX. Everything you need to run a great after-school workshop, with minimum preparation delivered to your door in-a-box. Check out our website for details
