Alright parents, the school holidays are creeping up fast. And if you’re already wondering how you’re going to keep the kids entertained without defaulting to screens, we’ve got you.
Because this Easter, Atomic School is bringing something a little different to the table at the University of Queensland and it involves getting hands-on with some seriously cool science.
We’re talking atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, yep, the big stuff. But don’t stress, this isn’t your average classroom situation. These 2-hour workshops are designed for kids aged 5 to 12 and are all about getting stuck in, experimenting, and actually doing the science, not just hearing about it.
The sessions kick off with the basics like Atoms and the Periodic Table and Molecules, aka the building blocks of literally everything, before stepping things up into Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonds and Chemical Reactions for the kids who are ready to level up.
It’s all structured in a way that builds confidence and curiosity, giving them a head start before high school science even begins, without it feeling like school holidays homework.
Workshops are running across the Easter break, with limited spots and a few sessions already booked out. Tickets are $79 per child and parents come along free, so it’s an easy win for a day out that’s equal parts fun and actually educational.
And if you can’t make the April dates, don’t stress. These workshops run every school holidays, with prepaid options available so you can lock it in now and use it later, including upcoming sessions in June.
So if you’ve got a kid who loves asking “why?”, building things, or just getting a little messy in the name of learning, this one’s worth jumping on early.
