SPARKLING SCIENCE CAMP

6 sessions of science curated specially for our sparklingly curious kids.

For this coming Jun holidays, we are so happy to launch the SPARKLING SCIENCE CAMP - specially designed and delivered by teen mentors from Raffles Girls School. The sessions will be held in person on Wednesdays / Fridays between 3pm to 5pm at RGS and will cover key topics taught in school.

Our goal is to create a safe & fun space where kids can explore the subject in more detail so that they can ignite their interest and strengthen their understanding of the key concepts.

Our method is based on peer-led learning where teen mentors plan and run the sessions. Our aim is not to just to teach but to encourage the kids to learn through peer modeling.

Our target is P5-P6 kids who may need a little more learning support for science.

But our only condition is that the kids will need to be accompanied by their parents. Firstly, for indemnity purpose and secondly so that parents can come together over coffee/tea while waiting to support one another.

Dates :

1. June 7, Wednesday (3pm-5pm)
