Students discover the science of light and colour through play and apply their knowledge in a design activity.
Younger students are enthralled by phenomena of light and colour around them such as rainbows, stars and shadows. They are curious about what makes light and the materials that can affect how light moves.
The 45-minute Discover Light and Colour workshop will help students develop STEM skills such as collaboration, creative and critical thinking as they experiment with the science of light and learn about its application through design.
Program subsidies apply for select schools as sponsored by the Toyota Community Trust. Please enquire upon booking.
