Welcome to Mad Science of Wessex

Inspiring Scientists of the Future!
We bring interactive hands-on STEM based programmes to children across Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire.
For over 30 years, Mad Science Group have been focused on designing and testing experiments and activities that resonate with children because we know that today’s children will be the solving the problems of tomorrow. We believe that developing a love for science at a young age will give children the confidence they need to excel within STEM fields.
