Curiosity first
We make space for big questions, surprising ideas, and the joy of finding things out.
Our story
Big ideas begin with a little curiosity.
Plasma Girl is a New Zealand STEM initiative bringing free, high-energy science workshops to local libraries. We combine hands-on experiments with imaginative storytelling so young minds can explore, question, and discover with confidence.

What guides us
A spark can change everything.
Science for everyone
Free local workshops help more tamariki see that STEM belongs to them, too.
Learn by doing
Hands-on experiments turn complex concepts into memorable, confidence-building discoveries.
Our mission
Making science feel less like a subject—and more like an adventure.
We create inclusive places where every child can experience STEM through play, creativity, and practical discovery. By meeting families in their local libraries, we bring extraordinary science into familiar community spaces.
The goal is simple: help the next generation build the resilience, imagination, and confidence to become tomorrow's thinkers, makers, and problem-solvers.
Powered by community
Help us take the next spark further.
Plasma Girl grows through the energy of volunteers, libraries, local boards, and partners who believe science should be open to everyone. Whether you bring expertise, time, or support, there is a place for you in the orbit.
