Topics
What we can run
Simple machines & forces
Levers, pulleys, gears and structures. Students build a machine that has to do a job, then load it until it fails. Grades 2-5.
Circuits & electricity
Closed circuits, conductors, switches. Each student builds a working light-up project and takes it home. Grades 1-5.
Light & optics
Reflection, refraction and colour, ending in an infinity mirror or kaleidoscope build. Grades 3-6.
Robotics with LEGO SPIKE
Build and code a robot to complete a set challenge, in teams. Needs the full 90 minutes. Grades 3-7.
Renewable energy
Solar and wind generation and the conservation law, built into a model that measurably works. Grades 4-7.
Space & rocketry
Thrust, drag and stability, then build and launch. Best run at our space or outdoors. Grades 2-6.
For Scout leaders
Badge work that isn’t a worksheet
Troops have been our steadiest group booking. Sessions are built to cover the requirements properly, the Scouts do the science, not a colouring page about it.
- Mapped to STEM, engineering and inventing badge requirements
- Evening and weekend slots that fit troop meeting times
- Tax exemption certificate accepted at time of booking
- We can travel to your regular meeting place
