Workshops
The Faraday Centre constructs and operates workshops on many topics which demonstrate scientific principles to school children and shows them how those principles have been applied historically to provide many of the useful innovations we enjoy today.
Hands On
 The workshops are designed for 7 to 11 year olds, but can be effectively utilised by both older and younger students by
altering the teaching approach.  
The workshops are very much hands on and involve students in physical and mental challenges which give them a better understanding of the physical world around them.
The Faraday Centre is dedicated to  providing a resource for educators to teach our children about the physical sciences
