Weekly science groups for children
Science Tigers sessions include hands-on experiments so that children can discover science for themselves, craft and technology activities so they can put their learning into practice, and projects to take home so they can keep on discovering.

"My daughter likes the activities and experiments that Holly provides and recounts them later on with giggles!
Holly's method of teaching is highly engaging, interactive and overall fun!

"So I'm pretty geeky really! I have 3 degrees in Physics including a doctorate (although I am not a medical doctor, too icky for me!).
I also love history and music, playing the piano and reading books too. So I'd like to think I'm a well-rounded person, not too serious!
I like children to discover science for themselves so there's lots of hands-on experiments, fact-finding treasure hunts, creative craft and technology projects and really bad jokes too!
To make sure children have fun while learning, I throw in a few quirks, games, and lots of laughs to keep things light-hearted. I'm just a big kid at heart so any excuse for some silliness is alright with me!"
