Over the past few decades, as knowledge has advanced rapidly, the general approach of simplification and dumbing down subjects before they are introduced to children has resulted in false information being taught to children.

Take the model of an atom: We still teach children that atoms are made of particles (protons and neutrons) in the centre with other particles (electrons) in orbit just the way planets go around the sun. Almost every book designed for children's education has such illustrations. It is present on all sorts of science-themed birthday cards, brochures, and posters. This is despite the fact that we know such a model is simply wrong.

So why do we teach it to our children? The justification is that "It is a simpler model to understand". Easier to understand for whom? Children are amazingly good at imagining what we adults find hard to grasp. This is partly due to the fact that they are not burdened by the many false assumptions most adults have about the universe. Children are not bothered by the idea of fuzziness at quantum level. They do not mind a clock ticking slower on a fast moving spaceship. They are happy to imagine light bending around a massive object. These phenomena are only "strange" if one has been told or assumed the contrary to begin with.

Our goal is to teach children about the wonders of the universe based on the very latest accepted and tested scientific theories not based on simplified and ultimately false models.

All children participating in our camps must be at least 4 years old and younger than 10. The material at each session is adapted based on the age of the children and their level of familiarity with each topic so every child can explore the topic at their pace and be challenged.
