Would you like to be a part of Cambridge Science Centre’s Idea Investigators? Test our new lab activities, workshops and shows and let us know your thoughts and ideas!

Science Club is back and you get to be part of our content development team as our Idea Investigators! You will get an exclusive first look at brand new sessions we are creating and try our exciting labs, shows and workshops before anyone else gets to! Plus you will get to sample some sessions we are considering bringing back, and help us figure out what works and where improvements can be made!

Plus, your thoughts and opinions will be passed to our content development team, where changes based on your feedback can then be written in.

Our Idea Investigators is suitable for ages 7-11, and we are very excited to have you be part of the Cambridge Science Centre team!

Science Club will take place every Wednesday between 4:20-5:20pm and is at Cambridge Science Centre (The Trinity Centre, Cambridge Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0FN). There are bike stands and car parking available on site. Young people can be signed up for the club here: https://forms.gle/VrAZo8QyFGo2x4ps7

We are booking in term blocks, so this upcoming block runs from 16th September - 16th December 2026. Please note, there will be no session on the 28th October (due to the half term holiday).

We are also able to offer a complimentary taxi to provide return transport from Campkin Road Community Centre to the Science Centre for those that need help accessing our location. Spaces for this are provided on a first come first served basis, so please only sign up for this if it is needed. You can find the transport registration link after submitting the sign up form.

We look forward to seeing your young people from 16th September!
