Nutty Scientists® curriculum is linked to the Irish Primary and Secondary Schools Curriculum, it is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and is designed by some of the Worlds top scientists. We understand the importance of having fluidity between what is learned in the classroom on a daily basis and what children experience through our engaging in-school workshop programmes.
