Ever wondered what’s going on inside your head? At this month’s mindbending club, you can find out! Brainiacs look at pictures of brain scans and try the Stroop colour and word test (fun for adults too!) to evaluate our processing abilities. Not only that, find out about how nerves work through play and even learn a new language! And, see how your limbic system manages you with our ‘sweet game’. Enjoy!

  – the woodland and outdoor areas from 10AM-5PM
  – the outdoor Water Lab – a change of clothes is recommended!

Event Details

All Saturday Club sessions must be accompanied by an adult. These family workshops are designed for you and your child to learn from each other and work together while trying out new things.

Our fun sessions for ages 5-9 are designed to engage children and their families with STEM: science, technology, engineering and maths. Through entertaining demos and hands-on activities, children have a chance to learn, explore, question and investigate different areas of science. Each month has a different theme, so you can try something new each time if you attend regularly.

Additional Support:

Our skilled staff ensure that every child can access the activities and differentiate to engage all children.
If your child has specific additional needs, please get in touch via [email protected] to discuss how they can be best supported.

Science Oxford is committed to inclusion and we recognise that cost is sometimes a barrier, and so funded places are available for families who need them. To find out more and to book one of these places, please contact [email protected].
