Vacation Care & OOSH science workshops

What a wonderful incursion we experienced with young scientists- true professionals!
Darren did an exceptional job of keeping the children engaged and entertained with his fun and educational science experiments. You captured their attention right from the beginning which prompted many inquisitive questions from the children. They were very eager to participate especially when you brought out the rockets and ice-cream just to name a few experiences.
Thank you for making science so much fun. It was a blast from start to end...
Jodie White - Director St.Mary's Concord Out Of School Hours Care (SMOOSH) 
I have used young scientists for my vacation care group for over 7 years. They have a great program for all ages and keep the kids engaged and entertained. We will continue to use young scientists and would recommend to any service that is looking for an exciting, fun and educational experience for vacation care.
Adam MawardiAssistant Coordinator of Out of School Hours Care (OSHC)
"We would like to thank 'Young Scientist' for a very engaging 'hands on' learning experience that was provided in our early learning centre. Our presenter was very engaged with the children and very organised with necessary materials for experiences to run effectively. The program had great pace and variety, which allowed our students to consolidate and extend upon their current learning and understanding about STEM concepts. Looking forward to our next workshop 😊".
Michelle LuCanley Heights World of learning
Darren has visited our libraries on several occasions over the years and the science workshops are always fully booked well ahead of time. The children are amazed at the experiments they are shown and also the 'hands on' tasks they were able to do. Darren is very passionate about science and this enthusiasm keeps the children engaged and entertained. Darren is reliable (he always arrives early to set up), he is very professional and we love having the science shows at our libraries. We always have lots of positive feedback from the parents who attend the science shows with their children.
Sharon FogartyTomaree library
Dundas Library has been utilising the services of Young Scientists for more than six years to the entire satisfaction of the children who have participated, the parents who watched the programs being run for their children and the library staff. These programs make the kids think and practise various interesting science related concepts which are either an extension of what they could have learnt within the classroom environ or validating what they have learnt with a hands-on fun activity. The facilitators are professional and focussed on their conduct.

We have engaged Young Scientists for some time now at our busy, family oriented holiday park. Darren is super engaging - the kids absolutely love him and all the experiments that they get to test in a fun and safe manner. Our families are always raving about how enjoyable Darren's workshops are. On our professional level, Darren has always been a pleasure to deal with, with great communication and a very personable approach to park staff and our valued guests.

THANK YOU IMMENSELY for putting together a GREAT "show" for the kids (and adults alike). Every child was transfixed and enjoyed every minute of show.

You had 23 kids entranced and attentive for 90 minutes straight - your science is magic! You are an equally brilliant scientist, performer and educator.
SiobhanParent
Young Scientists had almost 50 six year girls and boys totally gobsmacked and engaged for the entire time they were there! Lots of slime, goo, mysterious fog and mist - it was entertaining and educational not only for the kids but also for the parents.
