ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Zen Discovery

Zen Discovery is designed for students aged 7–14. From simple experiments to product design, students ask questions, test ideas and share what they make.

Age-group activities alternate with meals, rest and opportunities to speak with facilitators. Parents can share health, dietary and contact needs when enquiring so an appropriate participation plan can be discussed.
