Follow along at home with FREE DIY STEM guides!
Raid the cupboards & recycling bins, it's time to get making!
Getting hands on with science and engineering is easy! Chances are you already have all the items needed to perform your own experiments at home!
The recycling bin is a treasure trove to young makers, and up-cycling is far more eco-friendly than buying new materials. So before you throw anything out, rummage through, use some imagination, and get making!
Here are some DIY STEM guides for your weekends and school holidays, fun-tested with a little bit of science, engineering & mathematics knowledge sprinkled throughout.
