Fizzics Education exists to deliver engaging science to any audience, anywhere!

We care deeply about inspiring kids to learn more about the world around them and this has driven us to become one of Australia's leading science outreach providers of interactive science workshops and shows since 2004, where we now deliver science programs to approximately 300,000 children each year via incursion and video conference across 400 schools and public spaces throughout Australia and around the world.

We'll take our multi-award winning science workshops anywhere they are needed; yes you'll find us in schools & preschools but we also regularly work in non-traditional environments such as movie cinemas, shopping centers, libraries, juvenile justice centers, hospitals, park lands, sports stadiums, retirement homes, university theaters and any other facility able to accommodate large or small groups of people. We aim to make science awesome & accessible anywhere!

Science education ideas

Fizzics also works closely with cultural organisations and the corporate sector to deliver large scale science education projects. From preschool workshops to Year 12 presentations to public edutainment, the Fizzics team brings science to life and makes science learning fun and more importantly... memorable. We are an active corporate member of the Science Teachers Association New South Wales (STANSW).

Additionally Fizzics Education is a founding member of Virtual Excursions Australia (VEA), a non-profit portal for people to contact leading video conferencing content providers across Australia. VEA is a network which includes over 40 cultural institutions that meets monthly to discuss best practice in running lessons via video conferencing and plan collaborative distance learning programs for schools, libraries, retirement homes, hospitals and more. In 2013 VEA members reached 100,000 students across NSW alone.
