Students engage in a rich variety of interactive and informative science and maths based activities and resources.
They engage in problem solving and collaborative tasks, and have access to online learning activities using the centre’s laptop computers. Students also use the school’s science laboratory for experiments and ‘hands on’ activities. LEGO Robotics programming and Microbit coding are two of the many engaging and challenging projects that the Centre focuses on.
The program also features regular visits from scientists and professionals from a range of relevant vocations who work in local industries.
