As parents and carers, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. Your passion and curiosity are the sparks that ignite their own love of learning and discovery. At Little House of Science, while our focus is always on inspiring our young scientists, we also believe in providing enriching opportunities for the amazing adults who support them.
That’s why we are thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership with the Raindance Film Festival, the UK’s largest independent film festival. This collaboration is a unique chance for you to explore fascinating scientific topics through the powerful art of film.
Our Science Community
This exciting partnership offers a source of creative ideas and inspiration—and a well-deserved night out! While our work remains dedicated to our Little Scientists, the main Raindance Film Festival is for audiences aged 18 and over.
To kick things off, we invite you to experience three powerful environmental documentaries that reveal the fragile beauty of our planet. These thought-provoking films are a perfect opportunity to engage with critical scientific issues and can provide a wonderful starting point for future conversations with your children about protecting our world.
