SciencePlay Kids

A space for children to explore science concepts in a fun & creative way. Science Workshops, Incursions, Excursions, PD, Activations, Science Cosulting.

I have developed SciencePlay Kids from a combination of my love for science (I have a PhD in Biochemistry) and the pleasure I get from watching my children investigate and explore. I hope you enjoy it too!! Science is everywhere. We encounter it 1000’s of times everyday without even realising. Food is science, weather is science, textures and materials are science, nature is science, the body is s

cience, everything in the kitchen is science, patterns are science, light is science, fluids are science, solids and gas are science, vision is science. There is science EVERYWHERE!

When projects come to life! 🏗️

Recently, students from Footscray Primary and Footscray City Primary took part in our STEM education program, where they designed their own dream hospitals out of cardboard.

Recently some of those same students got to see the real thing - visiting the almost complete Footscray Hospital! Seeing their excitement (and how much they remembered from the workshops!) was such a special moment.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, including the Victorian Health Building Authority and Plenary.
