Dive into the fascinating world of sound waves with STEM Together: Sonic Science! This engaging workshop invites children aged 5 to 12 and their adult teammates to explore the science behind sound through fun, hands-on challenges. Together, you’ll create sonic inventions that bring the science of sound to life.
Expect a lively environment where curiosity and teamwork are encouraged. Your child will not only learn about sound waves but also develop creative problem-solving skills while making music and noise in surprising ways. The workshop is designed to inspire both young and older minds alike.
By the end of the session, each participant will take home a unique sonic creation, extending the fun and learning well beyond the workshop.
This workshop runs over two days: Thursday 16 April and Friday 17 April 2026. Each day features two sessions: 10:30am to 12:30pm and 2:00pm to 4:00pm. The program is strictly for children aged 5 to 12 years, and every child must be accompanied by an adult participant.
The activities involve three exciting challenges that explore the science of sound using STEM disciplines—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. These challenges encourage teamwork, creativity, and hands-on learning.
