Preschool-Level Workshops

Our preschool-level workshops offer hands-on learning experiences for kids ages 3-4. Each one is an age-appropriate exploration of a single science topic, like air, animals, weather, and worms. Kids enjoy engaging demos, perform simple experiments, and discover how science helps us understand our world.

Elementary-level Workshops

Our elementary-level interactive workshops are aligned to STEM objectives and explore concepts that kids are learning in school. With professional lesson plans, pre-and-post activity guides, and animated instructors, Mad Science workshops are an ideal way to strengthen kids' scientific foundations.

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. If you are going to be using our Resource Guide to complement the workshop, allow a little extra time to go over the pre-events with the kids before the actual workshop.

For what ages are Mad Science workshops appropriate?

Our workshops are appropriate for children between ages 3-4 for preschool-level workshops and ages 5-12 for elementary-level workshops.
