Students exploring science experiments together

Super Scientists after-school clubs

Super Scientists was founded by Kerry in 2017 with a simple idea: to make science exciting, practical and accessible for children.

What began as a passion for hands-on science has grown into a family-run business delivering after-school science clubs to children across Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland in the UK.

Our clubs put practical science at the heart of learning. Children get to experiment, investigate and discover for themselves while developing their curiosity, confidence and STEM skills.

Each weekly club session lasts one hour, with programmes typically running for six or seven weeks. At the end, every child receives a Super Scientists certificate celebrating their scientific journey.

A free library of science stories

Our work may have started in the UK, but learning has no borders.

That is why we are building a free and growing library of scientist biographies, discoveries and science stories that anyone, anywhere can explore.

Whether you are a student, teacher, parent or simply curious about the people who changed our understanding of the world, our aim is to make science interesting, accessible and inspiring for everyone.

“The twins are really enjoying the club so far, they are always full of excitement when they come home and love telling us about the experiments. Quite something as I usually struggle to get out of them what they had for lunch!!”
