For Children 6-12 years

We set up an after-school science club at your child’s primary school and sent our own science instructor weekly.

We also have Saturday Science Clubs running in your locality.

Our After School Science Club sessions; Bug Hunts, Rocket Races, Fossil making, Forensic Science , Quantum Physics, Anatomy, Illusions, Engineering, Marine Biology, Geology, Chemistry Chaos, DNA  and  more…  ! STEM for Kids Our Science after-school clubs are very hands-on and children get to make and take home something most days including their own SLIME, FOSSILS, MODEL GLIDERS, RAINBOW GLASSES and MORE! They wear Lab coats and goggles!

We are an innovative initiative passionate about bringing a love of science experiments and learning to primary school aged children. Our inclusive, hands-on approach is unique. Science Activities for Kids. We are not a science class, the children make and do their own STEM experiments, wearing their lab coats and goggles, using real scientific equipment including  Van Der Graff Generators & plasma balls ( Did we mention Nerf guns! ?) . Our science instructors are Garda cleared and Insured.

Junior Einsteins is a STEM / STEAM company so we provide all aspects of science to children including but not limited to flight, engineering, classification of life, Zoology, Maths, Chemistry, Astronomy, Ecology, Global environments, botany, microbiology ,anatomy, geology, oceanography, meteorology , plate tectonics, palaeontology …… We pride ourselves of being inclusive of all the sciences. We run in a school for a year ( sometimes even more !) without repeating a single topic.
Every week in science club is a different experience. Some children are more interested in the biology sessions, some the chemistry. Everyone loves slime and fossils ! But our aim is to give children the grammar of the language of science at a young age.

Some of our after-school activities include :

  • Slime making (Long-chain polymerisation , Newtonian & Non-Newtonian fluids)
  • Smoke cannons (Force, Vectors)
  •  Bernoulli’s Flying Machines (the principals of flight)
  • Rocket races 
  • Bug Hunts
  • Van Der Graff generator ( Can you touch 250,000 volts? ( voltage vs Current) 
  • Light The Light sabre plasma ball (electricity)
  • Coke & Mentos Geyser (force and nucleation)
  • Forensic Crime Scene 
  • Elephant Toothpaste (Hydrogen peroxide , Potassium Iodide chemical reaction : Exothermic reactions)
  • Make your own fossils  (palaeontologists !)
  • Light (rainbow glasses)
  • Engineering bridges 
  • How boats float (buoyancy)
  • Make your own lava lamp (density)
  • Cartoon Carpers; How cartoons  are made (illusion & how the eye can trick the brain)

Science Club is run for one hour after school hours. We can also run two sessions back to back, the first for the juniors, the second for the seniors.

Here at Junior Einsteins we teach children ‘how to think not what to think’. Our prices reflect the overall experience the child has throughout the term. Our science instructors are all trained , garda vetted and insured and every science club session risk assessed. We will bring in fantastic Van Der Graaf generators and other pieces of fun, but expensive kit

My four year old was glued to the video the whole time. He loved the child friendly experiments and watched in amazement as they were explained to him. Not just for kids as myself & my partner joined in and learned so much about electricity! Samantha Hughes, Laois
