School holiday family favourite STEM Together returns with a brand new theme, featuring challenges designed to build your understanding of the forces behind two types of tension!
Using Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, kids and their adult teammates complete a series of unique challenges relying on curiosity, teamwork and creative problem-solving. Test surface tension in liquids and consider how stretching a rope keeps a tightrope walker from falling!
Designed to inspire young and older minds alike, these interactive activities generate a sense of accomplishment and grow connections through shared experiences. Plus, you'll take home one of your creations to continue the fun and learning throughout the school holidays.
Please note: Every attending child requires an adult participant.
