Litmus and Bubbles - Science based Activity Center

Litmus and bubbles is a unique science based activity center for young minds in the age group of 6 to 12. Children will learn the fundamentals of science through a series of hands on experiments.

 

We are pleased to announce the launch of regular LaB sessions from Sep 14th, 2013. Based on feedback we are starting with weekend batches for both beginners and intermediates (age group 8 to 12) for a period of 6 weeks.

 

We have also been getting a lot of enquiries for sessions for smaller children (less than 8 years). There will be a special science camp for these children in the month of October. Details are available on the website.
