Workshop Testimonials
“My colleagues have all commented about how much they enjoyed it, which is always great when the teachers feel that they’ve learned new things too! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future”
“We love working with As Creatives at Eureka! Science + Discovery!
As a space for 0 – 14 year olds, we introduce our audiences to STEM subjects through creative and surprising means, and As Creatives certainly deliver on this! We love their approach to STEM, taking a concept and exploring less-told stories through creativity, problem solving, and teamwork.
All of the team are excellent performers and facilitators, and are so easy to work with. I would highly recommend As Creatives for any event that is looking to engage children with science, combining fun and games with skills and confidence building.”
“I just wanted to email to say a huge thank you for yesterday. The children all really enjoyed their sessions and we had great feedback from the Teachers. It’s given people ideas that we can use in our Science lessons using the outside environment!”
“A huge thank you from all the staff at EPS for yesterday’s Science Skills workshops. I’ve had such good feedback from everyone. The children absolutely loved the sessions and I’m sure will have taken a lot from them. We had a great day and I’ve picked up lots of ideas myself so thank you!”
