Preschool Workshops
Our preschool 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 in-class interactive workshops are aligned to STEM objectives and are curriculum correlated for each grade level. With professional lesson plans, pre-and-post activity guides, and animated instructors, Mad Science workshops are an ideal way to reinforce core science concepts.

James visited our school today and the children absolutely loved his workshop on forces. He kept them entertained, highly amused and engaged for the whole hour. The workshop sparked lots of interest in my year six class and provoked lots of understanding and thinking. I would highly recommend Mad Science! Thanks very much!

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 Teacher Resource Guide to complement the workshop, allow a little extra time to go over the pre-events with your class before the actual workshop.
+For what ages are Mad Science workshops appropriate?
Our workshops are appropriate for children between ages 3-4 for preschool workshops and ages 5-12 for elementary-level workshops.

Cancellations within 7 days of booking are fully refundable. After 7 days, a 30% fee will be charged, and the $100 deposit will be retained.

Rescheduling requests within 48 hours are not honored.

Rescheduling requests made within 48 hours of the event will not be honored, and payment is due in full. The rescheduled class must occur within 30 days of the original date. A rescheduling fee may apply if the request is made within 14 days of the event.
