An immersive wildlife program for tweens !
If your child loves wildlife and is a tween (9 to 12 years), then this workshop will take them closer to their passion.
They get to explore the world of frogs, snakes, elephants, marine life, plants and turtles with research students.
For two and half hours each day, our researchers will share
- real-life incidents from their research diaries,
- offer a peek into animal behaviour as studied by wildlife biologists,
- engage in activities, and
- challenge their quizzing talents
Knowledge is but one step closer to action.
Parents, you have handheld your tween this far, now take them a notch deeper.
