Testimonials
“The girls did a fabulous job of making science come to life for the pupils. The pupils loved the ‘hands-on’ approach and the fact that they were fully involved in the experiment.”
– Edenbrooke Primary School, Belfast
“I liked changing the indicator’s colour. I liked that they let us smell it and take part. It was great fun.”
– Keilan, Age 7
