The Scientist for a Day program is a full day social and educational workshop for young minds aged 9-12, designed to show kids what it’s like to work in different areas of science.
Ages: 9 - 12
Our Scientist For a Day program is a full day social and educational workshop for young minds aged 9-12, with a focus on encouraging a curiosity for and understanding of science. Each Scientist For a Day program has different themes, such as ornithology, palaeontology, mammalogy, and arachnology, designed to show kids what it’s like to work in different areas of science.
The program includes hands on activities and experiments that provide practical demonstrations, as well as rare behind the scenes opportunities that allow the kids to engage with practicing scientists within the Museum, as well as the external science community.
