Join an exciting journey of exploration and discovery through our STEMtots sessions

Each STEMtot session is carefully designed to engage young minds in open-ended learning experiences. Our expert Science Communicators will guide you and your young learner through immersive activities, encouraging them to ask questions, make predictions, and experiment freely. From investigating the wonders of nature to building simple machines, every session is packed with interactive adventures tailored to the developmental needs of pre-schoolers.

Useful information:

STEMtots runs during term times only and will run in blocks of six sessions.  Sessions can be booked individually or as a block.

Run on a Friday morning from 9.30am to 11.30am, STEMtots is run as a free-flow session so children can explore both our themed activities and hands-on, open-ended exhibits as they choose to.  You can attend at any time you wish during the session – there is no obligation to arrive at the start-time or remain until the closing time, so come for an hour, a half-hour or longer as suits your family.

Younger babies are welcome to accompany siblings free of charge.

Parents must remain with their child/children at all times.

Each ticket covers one adult and one child attending.

Childminders and nursery groups are welcome, but we ask that you maintain the ratios required to keep your young people safe within our Centre. Please email schools@cambridgesciencecentre.org if you require a bespoke booking option.

Don’t forget that the Trinity Barista’s offer refreshments and lunch, including kids meal boxes!  They are situated right next to the Science Centre, so within very easy access.
