Hands-On STEM Workshops
Real experiments. Real components. Hands-on discovery.
Curious Quanta’s STEM workshops are already running with primary-aged children in Kew. Developed and facilitated by Dr Chamali Jacob — experimental physicist and STEM educator — every session puts science directly in children’s hands. Children build, experiment, investigate, observe and solve problems for themselves. No worksheets. No passive watching. Just real equipment, guided inquiry, and the kind of discovery that sticks.
Ages 6–9 · Explore & Discover
Ages 6–9 | Explore & Discover
Hands-on science sessions designed for curious young minds. Each lab uses real equipment and guided discovery to bring big ideas to life.
Light Lab
Bend, Reflect & Control Light
Children investigate how light behaves using lenses, mirrors, reflection and refraction. A hands-on exploration of optics using real components.
Circuit Lab
Build Your First Circuit
Using breadboards, LEDs, resistors, switches and batteries, children design and build their own working circuits from scratch.
Coordinate Lab
Map, Build & Navigate
Using a LEGO coordinate plane, LEGO pieces and cubes, children explore coordinates, mapping and spatial reasoning in a hands-on way.
Ages 9–12 · Investigate & Create
Ages 9–12 | Investigate & Create
More complex challenges for older learners — deeper investigation, sharper reasoning, and real-world scientific thinking.
Imaging Lab
Discover How Images Are Made
Investigate how images form using pinhole imaging, lenses, focal distance and magnification. Children build their own imaging devices and observe real optical phenomena.
Smart Circuits Lab
Can a Circuit Sense the World?
Children build circuits using light and temperature sensors, exploring how electronics detect and respond to the environment around them.
Arduino Lab
Code, Circuits & Control
Using UNO R3-compatible boards and the Arduino IDE, children build and program simple circuits using LEDs and push buttons. They explore inputs, outputs, timing and sequences while discovering how computer code controls real electronic systems.
Work With Us
Bring Curious Quanta to Your Students
Curious Quanta workshops are available as school incursions, holiday programs, enrichment sessions, after-school activities, and collaborations with education providers. Each session is designed to complement the curriculum while giving children experiences that go well beyond the classroom.
School Incursions
We come to your school with all equipment provided. Sessions are self-contained, curriculum-aligned and ready to run.
Holiday Programs
Multi-day workshop programs during school holidays, giving children sustained, hands-on science exploration across a range of labs.
Enrichment & After-School
Enrichment sessions and after-school programs that extend what children are learning in class through active, investigative science.
Education Provider Partnerships
Open to collaborations with schools, tutoring centres, libraries and other education providers to deliver ongoing STEM programs.
