FAQ
Does everyone always take something home from a workshop?
Yes! A take-home activity is part of every workshop program. Most of the time, the item is built during the workshop. In some workshops, the activity requires no assembly and will be given to the children at the end of the workshop.
+How long in advance do I need to book?
We recommend 4-6 weeks before your event date. June is always very busy with end of year events, so plan accordingly.
+Can we group classes together?
Our programs are designed for a classroom sized group. Adding additional children means that equipment needs to be shared between more kids and impacts the hands-on nature of the program. We try to be flexible when accommodating split grades, but there is a limit. Talk to us when booking.
+What is the local area? What about this traval charge?
40km of travel is included in the base price, so schools in St Catharines/Niagara Falls/Beamsville/Welland area do not have to worry about a travel charge. Farther away locations are charged $0.37/km for the additional distance.
+Happy Customers
Here's what teachers have to say about our workshops!
The variety of activities for the kids was a good mix and the hands-on activities were engaging.
The information on energy was a great introduction into the unit for my class. I liked the learning activity on the different types of energy and the questions around whether energy could be made or destroyed.
St Bernadette School
London, ON
Our Kindergarten students were very engaged and LOVED the Bubbling Potions and Mad Mixtures programs. It has sparked their wonder and curiosity in the scientific world. We have had positive feedback from parents, who have heard all of the stories from their child. We loved your presentation and would book again!
Port Stanley Public School
Port Stanley
There was a good balance between hands-on activities and 'teaching'. The facilitator interacted well with the children and held the children's attention for the full duration of the program.
