Mini Makers: Live Online STEM Labs for Kids Ages 4-12

From 21 £ /h

Mini Makers STEM Lab is a hands‐on, online class where young creators explore early engineering, problem‐solving, and imagination using simple materials they already have at home. Each session features a guided STEM project—like paper helicopters, balloon rockets, marshmallow towers, or DIY parachutes—designed to build confidence, fine motor skills, and curiosity.
Kids follow along step‐by‐step on camera, test their creations, make improvements, and share what they built. The focus is on creativity, exploration, and learning through play. This class is warm, encouraging, and perfect for children who love building, experimenting, and making things with their hands.

Extra information

Bring simple household materials such as paper, tape, scissors, string, straws, markers, and occasionally marshmallows or toothpicks. A supply list will be provided before each class.

I teach with a warm, steady energy, clear steps, gentle encouragement, and plenty of space for kids to explore their ideas. I believe learning should feel inviting, not intimidating, and I build every class around curiosity, confidence, and hands on discovery.
I work especially well with kids who love to tinker, build, imagine, and ask questions. Whether we’re making a paper helicopter or testing a balloon rocket, I guide them through the process in a way that feels fun, calm, and achievable. My goal is always the same: help each child feel capable, creative, and excited to learn.

Passionate & empathetic teacher. I have a Master's in Physics with honors from the University of Leicester (which was featured at the time as a top 5 Physics university in the UK by The Guardian) and a - french - European School diploma in which I achieved 90% in Physics and 85% in Maths.

Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have 6 years of experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds both in a homework schools as well as via private teaching. In private teaching, I have experience tutoring people with learning disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia, Discalculia and more), younger kids of ages 7-12 and older students preparing for their final baccalaureate exams in advanced maths/physics curriculums.

In my classes, I aim to:

- help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths
- clearly explain and break down topics
- give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorization)
- help with ADHD & other learning disabilities
- give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life.

Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject! My lessons will always be tailored to the individual needs of the student, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions!

Hi, my name is Federica and I am an astrophysicist. I obtained my PhD from ETH Zürich and, for over ten years, I have been working in international research teams, contributing to space missions such as ESA Euclid and NASA Roman, and collaborating with scientists from all over the world.

For more than ten years, I have also been active in teaching, tutoring and science communication. In my teaching approach, I consider it essential to listen to the student, understand their needs, and identify the way they reason and learn best. This is key to creating a truly personalised learning path that motivates them to engage with the subject and gradually take on more advanced learning challenges.

I helped several students to strengthen the foundations, identify strategic points early, and progressively work towards more advanced problem-solving and exam preparation.

I do not believe in a standard “one-to-many” lesson, but rather in a learning path designed to genuinely consolidate the student’s knowledge, help them become progressively more independent, and make them aware of the practical and interdisciplinary applications that a particular subject can have in their academic journey.

I am fluent in Italian and English, and I am currently strengthening my knowledge of French. Thank you for your attention.
