Science & Tinkering Workshops
Little Changemakers designs and conducts affordable, educational, hands-on workshops for schools, student care centers, community groups, and even parties based on your needs!
Paper Engineering
How can a piece of paper hold up 19 books?!
We have workshops for 180 students in a primary school. Children learned how to make a piece of paper held up many books and erasers. They also worked in groups to design a paper ball run.
Flashy Dough Circuits
Did you know that play dough conducts electricity? Using play-dough is a fun and child-friendly way to learn about an electric circuit. To date, we have conducted this workshop for more than 445 children aged 7-12 years old.
Children will learn about how electricity responds to Conductor and Insulator, and the ingredients in the doughs that helps to conduct electricity or not through a series of mini hands-on activities.
Once children understand the concept of a working circuit, they will try their hands on lighting a LED on the dough. Children will be given recipes to create their dough so they can continue to create anything they like, and apply what they have learned in practice even after the workshop.
“Great to have such a fun programme for them to do some hands-on activity especially during the current situation.”
”Children had so much fun seeing their own creations light up”
Energy Conversion + Electromagnetism
We customised a series of online hands-on science workshops for more than 260 students (Primary 1 to 3) in Morning Star Students Care Services. In this 7-week programme, students learned about different types of energy and energy conversion by building their own models, testing, and making observations. As the lessons progressed each week, students applied what they have learned and built their own electric cars, vacuum cleaners, and DC motors using electromagnets.
“Parents feedback that their kids love the science programme and always want to be fetched later so they can join for it. Much gratitude to Cherry for her sessions. They truly love science.”
”The kids understood the concepts of circuits and kinetic energy from the past 2 sessions and they were amazed at how the 2 things can work together.”
Family Disco Math Night
Learning math can be a fun family affair! More than 100 families have joined for a family disco math night through Zoom. Families got together to learn about math through making patterns, 2D, and 3D shapes using glow sticks and foam balls. Participants continued to do glow stick dance after the workshop ended.
Other Workshops for 3-12 years old
