Our education collaboration with Dyson aims to engage the minds of young children through STEM education using Dyson technology to demonstrate what’s in the air.

During the workshop, you will acquire skills in inquiry-based STEM learning to support children’s natural curiosity and inquisitiveness in scientific research. Learn how early education can support children’s metacognitive development and uncover how communication, reflection and questioning enhances children’s ability to become confident life-long learners.

We are delighted that a Senior Design Engineer from Dyson Environmental Control will join this workshop and will share the company’s expert knowledge about air science. Through hands-on practical demonstrations, using the new Dyson Pure Hot+Cool™ purifying fan heater, we will explore the practical relevance of air quality and pollution and encourage educators to investigate what's in the air with the children in their service.

Following the workshop, you will receive a complimentary Dyson Pure Hot+Cool™ purifying fan heater that retails for RRP $899 and can sense, capture, project, heat and cool you – with one fan allocated per service. You will be well resourced to illustrate what you’ve learnt and to help start your children’s own journey of discovery.

You will also receive comprehensive materials with lots of STEM ideas and information about inquiry-based practices.

Further information: Wear clothing suitable for hands-on activities and experiments.
