March - April term topics:

STEM Goes Wild runs fun and engaging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) sessions for children of all ages, facilitated by passionate educators. These sessions spark curiosity and a love for learning by providing hands-on experiments, engineering challenges, and creative problem-solving activities that make science accessible and exciting. Our approach is all about encouraging young minds to explore, investigate, and play while learning about the world around them.

STEM Goes Wild sessions take place in venues with both indoor and outdoor spaces, so children can enjoy experiments and challenges whatever the weather. We explore concepts like forces, electricity, chemistry, and engineering, and children usually take home something they've built or created at each session, inspiring further exploration, and excitement at home.

We also provide weekend workshops, holiday events, and after-school clubs for primary-aged children. STEM Goes Wild can create a bespoke science-themed party to celebrate your child’s special day, making it an unforgettable hands-on experience. Check our page for more information on our various STEM adventures!

Fantastic Science and Where to Find It – A 7-Week STEM Adventure

March is an exciting month. It is British Science Week, we celebrate World Book Day, and it also happens to be my birthday. To bring all of these together, this term’s theme explores the connection between science, storytelling, and creativity through some of the most well-loved books in children’s literature.

Many of these stories have also been made into films, showing how science, technology, and imagination combine to create something extraordinary. This term, we will use these stories as inspiration for hands-on experiments and engineering challenges, uncovering the science hidden within the pages.

The Power of Books and Science

Reading and science are closely linked. Stories inspire curiosity, and science provides the tools to explore it. By combining both, we encourage creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on discovery.

As we celebrate British Science Week and World Book Day, we will step beyond the pages, bring these stories to life, and explore the fantastic science behind them.

Why These Books?

Each of these books encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and creative thinking—all essential skills in both science and storytelling. Many of them explore impossible ideas, yet science helps us understand and, in some cases, even recreate these concepts in real life. Whether through chemistry, physics, or engineering, we will take inspiration from these stories to explore scientific principles in a hands-on and exciting way.

STEM Club: Fantastic Science and Where to Find It

Week 1: Captain Underpants – Slime, Polymers & Flight – Silly transformations and unconventional science.

Week 2: The Chronicles of Narnia – A Magic Doorway & Simple Circuits – How can a spark of light change everything?

Week 3: Harry Potter – Wands, Potions & Electrical Magic – A little wizardry and a lot of science.

Week 4: Alice in Wonderland – Mad Hatter’s Tea Party & Chemistry – A topsy-turvy week of curious concoctions, and as a long-time Mad Hatter fan, I could not leave this one out.

Week 5: The Wizard of Oz – Defying Gravity & Forces in Action – It’s time to defy expectations and rise above the ordinary. What makes things lift, fall, and move in unexpected ways?

Week 6: Howl’s Moving Castle & Dog Man – Walking Castles & Mechanical Engineering –
Studio Ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle is a masterpiece filled with engineering wonders, steam-powered machines, and magical transformations.
Howl will share the spotlight with Dog Man, as the newest film features walking buildings, making it a perfect science pairing.

Week 7: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Conveyor Contraptions & Engineering – Wonka understood the power of invention—now it is our turn.
