Since half term, we’ve welcomed over 900 students aged 5–14 to the STEM Discovery Centre.

Our young learners have explored:
Super Smart Materials
Forces & Rocket Science
Friction & Newton’s Laws
A highlight has been our Alka-Splat activity, where students decorated beautiful bags while bringing Newton’s Third Law to life!
