Hands-on Learning

[{ "selector": "#anim1", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Kids get to design experiments, test their ideas and see real world applications of science concepts, makes learning more fun.

Encourages Curiosity

[{ "selector": "#anim2", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Science fairs make kids ask "why" and "how", which sparks curiosity to explore new topics.

Boosts Problem Solving Skills

[{ "selector": "#anim3", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] When experiments don’t go as planned kids learn to think critically, adjust and find creative solutions.

Develops Research Skills

[{ "selector": "#anim4", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Kids learn to gather information, analyse data and present findings – skills for future learning.

Encourages Teamwork and Collaboration

[{ "selector": "#anim5", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Some projects require teamwork, kids learn to communicate, share ideas and work together effectively.

Builds Confidence in Creativity

[{ "selector": "#anim6", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] By presenting their work kids develop confidence in their creative abilities and learn to express themselves.

Enhances Presentation and Communication Skills

[{ "selector": "#anim7", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Kids learn to explain complex ideas in simple way, improves their speaking and writing skills.

Inspires Future Career Interests

[{ "selector": "#anim8", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Exposure to science and innovation at young age can spark interest in STEM careers, guides kids to future opportunities.
