Science workshops create interesting challenges for our children

Published on Monday, 20 May 2013 00:00

If your child is interested in science, and wants to find out more about the world we live in, then they are certainly not alone!

A number of workshops are now being set up in the region, to help children indulge their fascination in this broad-ranging subject, which covers everything from recycling through to nuclear physics!

One club that has been running for a number of years now, but which is moving to new premises in La Rippe is the Science workshop at Anhugar school for gifted children.  Open to children aged between 5 and 15 years old, these workshops run throughout the Vaud school term on Wednesdays between 2 and 5 pm. With help from experts in subjects such as DIY, gardening, biology, chemistry, geology and physics, the workshops cover a wide range of extra-curricular topics with strong ties to science.  Both theory and practice are covered in the sessions, which are run in French and in English, and also include trips to local museums and other places of scientific interest.
