"Ailsa delivered an absolutely fantastic science themed birthday party for my 7 year old daughter. Having a science degree myself and being previously involved in my university hands on science society I was very impressed with the range of experiments and demonstrations included. They were both educational and fun, and all the kids and adults loved them! I wouldn't hesitate to book Ailsa again or to recommend her to friends and family. Keep up the great work Ailsa!" C. Stein

Scouting, Girl Guiding and other Groups
If you help run a Scouting, Girl Guiding or other group, why not get Mini Professors in for a hands on science session? We provide the equipment, the knowledge and the fun (we also take care of the clean up!)
Sessions can accommodate up to 30 children although we recommend numbers closer to 20.
Sessions are charged at £100. This includes around 50 minutes of hands on experiments, exciting demonstrations and teaching of the background science. We are happy to tailor the topic to the interests of your group. Multiple sessions at the same venue, on the same day, will be discounted. We can even carry out the session at camp!
Most evening's for your group can be accommodated. However, we are unable to come along to groups who meet on a Tuesday evening during term time.
"Ailsa was amazing with our Beaver Group - all the kids were very excited by all the amazing experiments they got to do - everything was hands on, she brought all her own equipment and was very patient with all the questions. Would highly recommend and cant wait to have Mini Professors back to join us." J Whiteside

Nursery Sessions
Our nursery sessions are suitable for up to 14 children age 2+.
A Mini Professors nursery session lasts around 45 minutes and includes: singing, a small teaching section using props and photos to kept your children engaged, two hands on experiments for the children to carry out, a story linked to the theme and a short two minute video clip linked to the topic (this video gives us time to clear up experiment 1 and set up experiment 2).
What we need from the nursery:
- Access to water.
- Around 15 minutes to set up before each session.
- Space for Professor Ailsa to sit with the children around her on the floor for the teaching and story sections of the session and space nearby for two tuff trays to be set up for the experiments.
“The children from Roseangle House Nursery love their sessions with Ailsa from Mini Professors. Professor Ailsa has very exciting and engaging sessions that capture the interests of all our children. Professor Ailsa has a fun filled programme filled with lots of fun facts, experiments, stories, singing and much more! The children cannot wait until their next session and have begun to create their own sessions within the nursery creating their own experiments. Children said - "This is so cool", "Mini Professors is the best day ever" , "I wish she could come every day", "I love what she teaches us".”

School Sessions and Assemblies
There are so many ways we can come into your school and help your students to develop and nurture their passion for the STEM subjects. From delivering an action packed, interactive assembly to running individual topic sessions or jam packed science days – the possibilities are endless!
A Mini Professors school session includes: a background science teaching section using props and photos to keep engagement high throughout, two hands on experiments for the children to carry out, a story linked to the theme and a short two minute video clip linked to the topic (this clip gives us time to clear up experiment 1 and set up experiment 2). We recommend numbers of around 20 children per session but can accommodate up to 30 for some topics.
“Professor Ailsa visited my Primary 1 class and did a workshop on the topic of acids and bases. Her whole workshop was amazing from start to finish. It included singing, a story, experiments and lots to think and learn about. I would highly recommend other schools or nursery settings to invite Ailsa in. She had such a lovely manner with the children and showed a real passion for her science topics. I even learned something new myself! Thank you so much for doing a great lesson for us.” Sarah C
“It was fantastic having Ailsa visiting our school. The kids loved it and she really goes above and beyond with the activities and inputs and the children were enjoying every second from start to finish! Could not recommend more for parties or school visit’s especially as it’s so appropriate for science lessons taught exceptionally 😊 thank you so much!” Nicky S
