At Little House of Science, we nurture this curiosity and re-enforce STEM-related subjects in an exciting, unique, practical and fun way so that children can connect with science from a very early age. Girls are particularly encouraged to start early because it can be more challenging to capture interest to pursue science in the later stages of their development. Annually, over 5,000 children attend our science clubs during term times and during school holidays for STEM-related subjects at secure venues in London and also online in small interactive live Zoom classes. Each term and holiday camps offer new topics with updated demonstrations and experiments.
