We consider a visit to the Cape Town Science Centre an essential part of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education environment, supporting classroom learning with hands-on, inquiry-based exploration. We provide engaging, one-of-a-kind experiences that speak to the natural curiosity in young people.
Group visits to the Cape Town Science Centre offer valuable enrichment opportunities for students, teachers, home schoolers and parents. Group visits are planned with teachers in advance and structured to include a variety of activities on offer at the centre to ensure your group will get the most out of the visit.
The Cape Town Science Centre provides valuable hands-on learning experiences using world-class exhibits designed to enrich the school curriculum and equip learners by increasing their understanding of science, technology and maths.
