We offer science courses in a laboratory as well as hands-on science workshops in community centres or halls. Our lab based chemistry and physics courses are run in a fully equipped laboratory, commonly at a university or polytech. This gives home educated children the experience of working with laboratory equipment and chemicals that are not easily accessible at home. The focus is on learning how to use laboratory equipment and practice laboratory skills. Our courses are specifically designed for home educating families and their children. Parent attendance is encouraged so that families can continue and expand their learnt skills at home. We also offer hands-on workshops in community rooms. These workshops are hands-on, fostering an interest in science.
