Get ready for an exciting school holiday program where children aged 5 to 12 and their adult partners dive into the fascinating world of movement. This interactive workshop encourages curiosity, teamwork, and creative problem-solving through hands-on STEM activities. Kids will not only learn the science behind how things move but also get to take home a creation they make during the sessions.
The program is designed to inspire both young minds and adults alike, fostering a sense of accomplishment and connection through shared learning experiences. Whether your child is a budding engineer or just loves to explore, this workshop offers something for everyone.
Expect a lively, engaging environment where science and fun come together to make these school holidays memorable.
The workshop runs over two days, Wednesday 15 July and Thursday 16 July, with two sessions each day: 10:30 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 16:00. Each session is tailored for children aged 5 to 12 years, who must be accompanied by an adult participant.
Participants will tackle three unique challenges that bring the principles of movement to life using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The activities are designed to be hands-on and interactive, encouraging teamwork and problem-solving.
Tickets are required for every child and their accompanying adult. Creative Kids Vouchers are accepted but must be submitted a week before the event.
