In Your Classroom

Can't make it to the science centre? No, problem!

Surprise and delight with some science that sparkles in YOUR OWN CLASSROOM!

Let's face it, nothing shines like students discovering science through hands-on discoveries. That’s why Spark has programs that can be ordered direct to classrooms for an hour, a day, a full week or an entire semester!

These programs are unique opportunities for students to engage with science in ways that will expand minds, introduce career possibilities and create lasting connections.

Please note that the Spark team can only travel within 50 kilometres of the science centre.
