A Primary STEM ECA Programme That Children Rebook Term After Term
Ask any ECA coordinator which clubs fill up first and science is usually near the top. Children love to get their hands messy, and parents love to see their children excited about learning. A Primary STEM ECA Programme That Children Rebook Term After Term
The Junior Einsteins After School Science Club® gives international schools a ready-made, hands-on primary school STEM ECA programme that children look forward to every week.
What happens at a Junior Einsteins Science Club®
Lab coats go on, goggles go on and the equipment comes out. Each 60-minute session includes several hands-on experiments that build on each other. In one term, children might:
- Launch rockets
- Lift fingerprints at a crime scene
- Grow crystals
- Build a periscope
- Erupt a volcano
- Extract real DNA
With more than two years of weekly sessions and no repeated topic, the club stays fresh, and children keep rebooking.
The take-home effect
In most sessions, children take something home: a fossil they cast, a working periscope, a lava lamp, a glider, a simple robot. That’s how the learning carries on at the dinner table. Every child who explains their fossil to their family becomes an ambassador for your school’s STEM programme.
Beyond the weekly club
The same programme powers a whole calendar of co-curricular STEM:
- Holiday and one-day camps
- Whole-school STEM days
- STEM weeks
- Our high-energy Science Show
Schools can also run themed series, such as six weeks of sustainability, four weeks of engineering or a term of the human body.
A visible STEM identity for families
A thriving science club is something parents see and talk about. It gives your school real stories for open days, newsletters and the prospectus, and strengthens how families experience your school’s commitment to STEM.
ECA provision that can generate income
Clubs, camps and ticketed shows can run as paid enrichment. That makes Junior Einsteins a programme that can pay for itself and grow with demand.
Ready to deliver from day one
Every session comes with:
- Full scripts
- Materials lists
- Timings
- Risk assessments
- Safety guidance
- Extension prompts
- Primary STEM resources
Your ECA staff don’t need a science background, and they complete certification through the Junior Einsteins Science Club® Academy, usually within four to five weeks.
