The course is led by women who are all experts in their chosen field, with all resources required being provided by STEMazing.

As part of the course, students in Key Stage 2 have been exploring important scientific principles through exciting craft projects. This includes making straw rocket blasters to explore forces and gravity, building lava lamps to discover the impact of density, and making sense of Newton’s Laws of Motion through the making of jet balloon cars.
