Discover STEM like you’ve never seen it before! Inventor Kids run interactive science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classes for kids. Your child’s lifelong love of STEM starts at Inventor Kids and you can be confident that they will discover and grow their passion for STEM during these classes.
Inventor Kids has a wide range of classes designed for preschool and primary school-aged children (3 – 11 year olds) that are available 6 days a week. Their small class sizes ensure that your child will develop and practice skills in STEM through their educational and fun interactive activities, while being in a supportive and nurturing environment.
At every session, a new STEM topic is showcased in areas such as engineering design, chemical reactions, gravity, magnetism, motion, robotics and so much more. Activities are rich in questioning, designing, analysing and evaluating using STEM methods of measuring, calculating and comparing. Plus, your child will have their own Lab Book – just like a real STEM professional – and will learn how to record their achievements and outcomes from each session.
STEM is all around us and teaching these concepts to kids can be FUN, especially with Inventor Kids. So come and join in the fun in the Inventor Kids STEM Lab and watch your child thrive as they discover new ways of thinking about STEM.
