March Home Education Day

Special ticketed event
Especially for home educated children
Monday 10 March, 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Young Asia Student Remotely Learn Online At Home With Parent In Coding Robot Car And Electronic Board Cable In STEM, STEAM, Mathematics Engineer Science Technology Computer Code In Robotics For Kids.

Home Education Days have been designed for home educated children to benefit from our curriculum-linked workshops, which reflect current and relevant STEM themes and topics 

Children experience working like scientists in a lab setting which they would not have access to at home. At this Home Education Day, no school groups will be in the science centre, so you are guaranteed a more relaxed environment for your children. Families can also explore the science centre at leisure rather than having a ‘school style’ schedule to follow. 

Families can book one of the workshop sessions and combine this with a science centre visit or can opt for science centre only.   

The theme of March’s workshops is Robotics. Keep scrolling for further details…
