Find the Right Program for Your Child

Six curiosity-led programs. Every one of them starts with a question your child asked — and ends with them wanting to know what happens next.

Three ways to learn

  • Live online sessions — small groups, real experiments at home
  • School partnerships — programs run inside your child's school
  • At-home kits — guided experiments children run themselves

Curious Kids

Ages 3–5

For young children who are just beginning to question the world. Sessions move at the speed of wonder — touch it, watch it, talk about it.

What children learn

Observation, describing what they notice, sorting and comparing, simple cause and effect.

Sample activities

Sink or float, colour mixing, seed sprouting, shadow play, a leaf hunt with a magnifying glass.

Learning outcomes

Asks more questions, describes ideas in fuller sentences, engages longer with one activity.

Science Explorers

Ages 6–9

Hands-on experiments and scientific discovery. Children run the experiment, record what happened, and explain why they think it happened.

What children learn

Predicting, fair testing, measuring, recording observations, drawing conclusions.

Sample activities

Density towers, balloon rockets, invisible ink, circuits from a battery and foil, water filtration.

Learning outcomes

Runs a simple experiment start to finish and explains the result in their own words.

Nature Detectives

Ages 5–10

Outdoor observation and exploration. A park, a balcony garden or a rain puddle becomes the day's laboratory.

What children learn

Field observation, identification, note-taking and sketching, patterns and seasons, respect for living things.

Sample activities

Ant trail tracking, bird-call listening walks, leaf and bark rubbings, soil comparison, a weather diary.

Learning outcomes

Keeps a nature journal and notices details on ordinary walks that adults miss.

Young Problem Solvers

Ages 8–12

Logic, puzzles, challenges and reasoning. Children learn that being stuck is a stage, not a verdict.

What children learn

Breaking problems down, logical deduction, pattern recognition, working under constraints, explaining reasoning.

Sample activities

Bridge-building with limited materials, logic grids, escape-room puzzles, code-breaking, design challenges.

Learning outcomes

Attempts unfamiliar problems without asking for the answer first.

Inventors Lab

Ages 9–13

Build, experiment, create, improve. Every project goes through at least one honest failure before it works.

What children learn

Design thinking, prototyping, iteration, simple mechanics and circuits, presenting their own work.

Sample activities

Rubber-band cars, water-filter design, gear machines, a working alarm, a device that solves a problem at home.

Learning outcomes

Finishes a self-directed build and can explain what they'd change in version two.

STEM Explorers

Ages 10–14

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics through practical activities — for children ready to go deeper on their own terms.

What children learn

Research methods, data and graphs, engineering trade-offs, computational thinking, project planning.

Sample activities

Air-quality logging, bridge load testing, a solar cooker, a small robot, a survey they design and analyse.

Learning outcomes

Completes an independent STEM project with evidence, results and a conclusion.
