Hands-on Science Workshops

Seeing is believing! Astound young minds with science fun, experiments and illusions that highlight their amazing brains in action. Available live in-person, online or as a package with our science shows for schools, these interactive science workshops are great for smaller groups - perhaps as part of an end of term science class or a fun science club. Or Building a Resilient Brain is perfect for a wellbeing week or PSHE lessons focused on mental health and wellbeing. They typically run for 30-45mins to suit your timetable, or can be extended to an hour with Q&A and we always tailor the content for the target age group.

This interactive game show uses demos, experiments and quizzes to show how our brains trick us into making irrational decisions every day. The audience will learn to navigate the quirks of their brains and identify unconscious biases to make smarter choices

Can you crack puzzles solved by chimps, parrots and dolphins? Are you smarter than a slime mould? By exploring the range of abilities held by our animal relatives, this fun show throws light on the difficulties of defining intelligence, and the importance of fair tests.

Spectacular Science Shows

What do you think is normal? Does ‘normal’ exist? In this fun, interactive show, we dive into statistics, genetics, evolution and brain plasticity as we discover what makes you you, and why each of us is truly unique. Packed with demos and experiments, including creating our own brain art, this show explores the concept of neurodiversity and the strengths we can all bring to society.
