THE WORKSHOP

Hands-on free-electricity light build

Each child constructs and takes home their own free-electricity light using copper and magnets — the central, hands-on project of the party.

THE EXPERIMENTS

Fizzy Potion Laboratory

Young inventors experiment with natural chemicals to observe reactions and learn basic scientific principles in a safe, supervised setting.

THE CELEBRATION

A keepsake certificate and party options

At the conclusion of the party every child receives an official personalised Scientist Certification; organisers may also add catering, food and cake options or allow BYO provisions.

What the day feels like

What the birthday feels like

Over roughly two hours, the session moves from a story-led introduction into hands-on construction of a free-electricity light, then into short chemistry experiments in the Fizzy Potion Laboratory, and finishes with certification — all staged as a guided, narrative-driven workshop that casts each child as an inventor.
