G' Day

After a chilly month in northernmost Sweden in February, we will be giving workshops at the Children’s Museum of Jordan and for Kids Invent! affiliates in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi. Then we continue to QUESTACON in Canberra for a few days and several weeks of workshops in Western Australia with SciTech in Perth and the University of Western Australia. Packing for an 80 degree (F) temperature change will be a challenge.

Brrrr!

With sponsorship from the Fulbright Scholarship Board and the Institute for International Education we will be giving a series of hands-on workshops for teachers throughout the northern most province of Sweden in February. Technichus, the science center in Lulea, is hosting our visit. Our previous workshops there were well received and we are delighted to be returning.

Effective teaching

Students learn best when they are engaged in solving challenging problems. We engage students working in small teams to design and build solutions to fun problems. They learn and like learning. If you want students to learn science eagerly, contact us.
