Our story
Innately Science is a creative space for reimagining how we explore, share, and connect with science.
Born from a love of curiosity and storytelling, it's a growing collection of projects and experiments that bring science to life in unexpected ways - through hands-on workshops, artistic collaborations, thoughtful conversations, and now, a podcast.
At its core, Innately Science is about making science more human: rooted in wonder, shaped by creativity, and shared in ways that spark deeper understanding and connection. Whether in classrooms, community spaces, or through audio, each project invites people of all ages to see science not just as knowledge, but as a way of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.
Workshops
Our Creativity and Curiosity Workshops have been at the heart of Innately Science - a unique approach to science communication that goes beyond explaining concepts. Instead, we invited participants to experience science through creative activities that tap into imagination, personal reflection, and play. Whether sculpting with metal clay, exploring scientific ideas through plant hammering, or expressing concepts through movement and art, these workshops made space for wonder and open-ended inquiry. By shifting the focus from delivering information to sparking curiosity, we created a model that empowers learners to connect with science on their own terms - emotionally, creatively, and intellectually.
Publication
The Innately Science newspaper series began as an experiment in low-tech, high-impact science communication - using playful, visually engaging printed newspapers to spark curiosity and conversation. Each issue blended science with art, storytelling, and reflective prompts, inviting readers to explore big ideas in approachable, imaginative ways. What started as a small creative trial has grown into a valued educational tool. We’re now excited to be collaborating with educators and organisations to co-create new issues and adapt the format for wider use - offering these resources as a fun, thoughtful way to connect learners with science and with one another.
