About Earth & Space
Founded by science enthusiasts and experienced outdoor educators, Earth and Space’s aim is to teach STEM concepts through experiential education principles.
Science is the language with which we describe nature, and our hands-on programmes offer students the chance to hone their observational, experimental, and creative skills in nature’s laboratory.
Exploring ideas from forces and energy to habitats and evolution through adventure activities such as climbing, abseiling, stream trekking and more allows students to develop a foundational understanding of the physical world, before meeting these same ideas abstracted in the classroom.
Most important to our programmes are our three guiding principles:
Be Curious
Stay Safe
Have Fun!
