Science Box Ltd

The ‘Science Box’ social enterprise is aimed at bringing the world of science to primary school (aged 5-12 years old) kids and sparking their curiosity about the world around them. This project encourages young kiwis to be explorers and discover the mysteries of science in their day to day lives. At Science Box we believe that science is for everyone and we want to eliminate the stigma in our youth that science is a difficult subject and can only be done by smart people. The company hosts unique workshops, facilitated by volunteers, and utilising every-day household items. Each workshop, whether a school visit, holiday programme or ScienceBox Club event, involves a challenge, a poster, and a presentation. Whether making microscopes, extracting DNA or designing chemical cars - ScienceBox focuses on promoting problem solving, collaboration and communication - while kids discover the excitement and magic of Science.
