Ever guessed someone’s birthday using simple maths?
Can water fight gravity? And can eggs lift weight?
What if we told you that simple kitchen ingredients could teach you chemistry & physics?
Or that you could perform Newton’s 1st Law like a stage act — and people will cheer?
This isn’t Hogwarts. It’s better.
This is ‘It’s Science not Magic’! - a 3-day online workshop where you become a science storyteller!
This summer, we are teaming up with Science Fuse for this one-of-a-kind workshop, where we invite curious minds from across Pakistan to learn how to perform science, not just understand it!
The participants will learn hands-on, low-cost science experiments using everyday materials. Then they will transform them into their own 1-minute Science Show, a mini science engagement that wows your audience!
