Inside the Beanstalk

There’s a whole world hiding in plain sight.

Inside the Beanstalk invites children to look closer — much closer.

Through hands-on STEM investigation, children explore the microscopic world and discover how magnification can reveal details, patterns and structures that are usually invisible to the naked eye.

It’s the kind of workshop that turns an ordinary object into something completely unexpected.

Look closer. Discover more.

What changes when we stop looking at the big picture and start investigating the tiny details?

Inside the Beanstalk encourages children to observe carefully, compare what they see and use technology to investigate the world at a different scale.

Along the way, they’ll explore the science of magnification, observation and imaging while building curiosity, confidence and scientific thinking.

STEM Focus:

Microscopy • Magnification • Observation • Technology • Scientific Investigation

Learning that goes beyond what we can see

Children are encouraged to make predictions, notice patterns, compare observations and communicate what they discover.

The workshop supports scientific inquiry, critical thinking and the use of technology to extend human senses and understanding.

Experiences can be adapted to suit different ages and learning stages, making Inside the Beanstalk suitable for early learning, primary schools and OOSH.
