Hello, I'm Kirsty

Kirsty holds string to her ears, from which hangs a metal coat hanger.
This is a science demo, try it and see what happens!

Based in North Tyneside, I deliver engaging, hands-on, enquiry-based science workshops for primary school classes. My workshops can enrich teaching of curriculum topics, or be used as part of a science day, science week or STEM club.

Science is a creative way we can question and explore our world, so in my workshops, I facilitate opportunities for children to investigate themselves, develop their skills and feel like they are the ones making the breakthroughs - to experience being a scientist - because it can be a positive, impactful and engaging way to learn.

Science Workshops

Designed to enrich curriculum learning for primary school pupils, my workshops can be delivered as part of the school day or for special science week/day events.

STEM Clubs

Does your club need a little STEM twist or would you like to set up a new club at your school or community centre? I can help. Let’s explore, experiment, collaborate, make and play.

Community Events

Most of my career has been centred around community engagement and working with those who may not think science is for them. Science activities can develop our curiosity, creativity and self-confidence, but a positive connection and welcoming environment is the first step.
