STEM goes Wild

16/07/2025

✨ Not our usual STEM post - but definitely a celebration of imagination, teamwork, and adventure!

M turned 12 this weekend, and instead of a typical birthday party, she gathered her friends to play Dungeons & Dragons for the very first time. 🎲🐉

We took over the immersive space at Six Sided Society in FarGo Village Coventry , and it couldn’t have been a better setting for their first quest.
Most of the kids had never played before… but judging by the chaos, laughter, and battle cries echoing through the room, it definitely won’t be the last. The seed has been planted! 🌱

Fuelled by potions (ahem, ice teas and sodas from Sugar & Spice ) and spell-slot cupcakes, they fought wizards, befriend monsters (sic!), solved puzzles, and came out victorious (barely).

Grateful for spaces like this that give kids the chance to play, imagine, and be a little wild. And huge thanks to our very patient and adaptive DM - Precious! You're the best!💥

We offer STEM parties for all ages and all levels - from big, messy experiments to more advanced circuit-building challenges.

Some of our favourite setups from this weekend involve breadboards, resistors, buzzers, and transmitters - real hands-on circuit work where you get to build simple electronic games from scratch. No microcontrollers, no screens, just proper old-school electronics and plenty of problem-solving along the way.

These parties are perfect for curious minds who want to go beyond slime and rockets (although we love bringing those too!). Whether you’re after a wild, high-energy party or something more technical, we can tailor the session to match your crowd.

⚡️ Lemon Power! ⚡️
After school science fun at John Shelton John Shelton Community Primary School today – we powered LEDs using lemon batteries! 🍋 The young scientists loved exploring how fruits can create electricity.
Brilliant teamwork, curiosity, and lots of smiles all around!

Science Wonder Garden Party with Begbroke Science Park at University of Oxford

Thank you Red Kite Days Oxfordshire 💚

22/06/2025

Science Wander Garden Party Begbroke Science Park at University of Oxford yesterday was wild - in the best possible way! 🔧🧠✨

From 11 to 4 we were non-stop: building scribble bots and launching rockets. The gazebo was packed, the kids were buzzing with ideas, and the energy never dipped. Over 250 bots were built over 5 hours!

Huge thanks to everyone who came by, joined the chaos, asked brilliant questions, and made this such a joyful blur of wires, motors, and invention. And thank you to the kind souls who brought me water throughout - lifesavers in this heat! 💚

Sorry I’ve been quiet and slow to reply lately - I’ve been busy building a fully working Victorian flush toilet model out of junk. As you do... Back to emails now!
