School Terrarium Workshops:
Bring Ecosystem Science to Life

If you are looking to run educational science terrarium workshops at your school or library, get in contact with us today. Our workshop packages incorporate ecosystem science into the session and are tailored to the curriculum. The programs provide an immersive experience where students explore fundamental ecological principles while creating their very own self-sustaining ecosystem.

Developed by Helen, the founder of Helen’s Mini Worlds and a Bachelor of Science (Adv.) graduate, this workshop provides an engaging opportunity for students to create their own terrarium. Our comprehensive package equips teachers with all necessary materials and content, allowing them to confidently lead the session without requiring an external facilitator.

Testimonial:

"It was a VERY successful day today! - It was NOT wild/crazy/chaotic at all! It was nice and calm, and everyone enjoyed it!

The presentation slides were easy to follow. Students became very knowledgeable about what a terrarium is and how it works."
