Mind Lab Kids V2 | School-Gen

School-gen + Mind Lab Kids join forces

To help put kiwi kids’ energy to good use, the Genesis School-gen programme is partnering with Mind Lab Kids. Primary school kids all over New Zealand will have FREE access from now and over winter to fun experiments, challenges and lightbulb moments to get them creating and learning from home.

Developed by educators, kids will have access to a safe online space to create, innovate and share their creations. It’s super easy for kids to do. First, they watch the challenge set by the Mind Lab Kids educators, then hunt around the house for the items they need and finally they record themselves completing the challenge and upload to the site.

Getting kids started is as simple as registering on Mind Lab Kids.

Make a photo booth and win!

Professional photographers often use photo booths when they want to take cool pics of objects.

Learn how to make your own photo booth in this week’s challenge and start snapping to win either a Glow-in-the-dark Slime Lab, a Tin Can Edge Dectector Robot or a Kids Kitchen Science Kit.

To be in the draw for these awesome spot prizes share some of your best photo booth pics on the Challenge page by 7pm on Tuesday 5 June and be in with a chance to win!

You’ll also go in the draw to win the BIG prize of a Mini Sphero Activity Kit, which will be drawn on Thursday 18 June.

If you’ve already registered on Mind Lab Kids, then you can get started now! If you haven’t, then get an adult to sign you up so you don’t miss out on great prizes.

There is always some fine print … check out School-gen’s Terms and Conditions here.
