Franklin’s Young Inventors
Franklin’s Young Inventors is our science club for aspiring scientists in Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14).
Participants learn all about the experiments carried out by Benjamin Franklin and his British friends as well as trying their hand at practical investigations. A range of core topics from the science curriculum are covered including electricity, forces, sound and the human body.
From September 2021, we will be delivering our Franklin’s Young Inventors programme via Zoom on the 3rd Tuesday of the month 4.30pm-5pm and in-person at Benjamin Franklin House on the 3rd Saturday of the month 10am-11.30am.
