This Waiver and Release of Liability ("Waiver") applies to children’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) programs and services provided by STEAMplay Studios (ABN 74 785 098 781).
By agreeing to this Waiver, you do so on behalf of yourself and your child(ren) participating in any STEAMplay Studios classes, workshops, play sessions, or events.

These activities may involve commercial or household-grade materials such as paints, glues, clay, electronics, wires, motors, and tools. Where age-appropriate, children may be given access to basic hand tools, low-temperature hot glue guns, and other materials to facilitate their creations.
