Bubble Academy is simply the coolest hands-on bubble science and art incursion for school aged kids. Suitable for kids aged 9+, sessions are jam-packed, utterly amazing, crazy-fun and genuinely mind-blowing for kids of all ages.
The incursion begins with kids learning the basics of bubble expansion, contraction, cohesion, and permeability. We don’t talk about these concepts so much as show kids how to create using them. We have a strict fun-first philosophy. As a teacher, you are going to absolutely love Bubble Academy. It is precisely the kind of education we always wished we had -- fun, exciting and utterly fascinating.
Once kids have the basic techniques of bubble sculpting, we’ll show them how to assemble bubbles into geometric shapes. They’ll learn to blow a triangle bubble, cube-shaped bubble and pentagonal bubbles. These basic shapes and basic forms are the building blocks of our natural world. There is really a no better introduction to the relationship between science and geometry than soap bubbles.
With the skills to create an incredible variety of forms with soap bubbles, students start to make the most exquisite bubble creations, e.g. ladybug bubbles, snow-man bubbles, and futuristic bubble cities. Kids are amazed when they learn how to create bubble caterpillars, flowers, trampolines and even merry-go-round bubbles!
REQUIREMENTS
To ensure quality, sessions are limited to 30 kids. For large groups, we can schedule up to 5 x classes per day. Sessions are jam-packed, super-fun, and 45 min each. We’ll need 6 x tables for the kids to blow their bubble creations onto in any classroom-sized indoor space.
