WORKSHOP Details:

For Kindergarten to Year 7 Students

Give your child a meaningful, hands-on STEM experience these school holidays! Our Autumn Holiday Camp helps students learn by building, coding, and experimenting — all while having fun in a supportive classroom environment.

🛠️ What Happens in the Classroom

🔧 Engineering & Mechanical Concepts

Students explore real-world engineering principles through hands-on builds, including:

• Gears, axles, pulleys, and belt transmission systems

• Understanding motion, speed, and force

• Applying basic maths such as counting rotations, ratios, and measurements

• Solving challenges using brick-based construction

🤖 Robotics & Smart Technology

Students will:

• Build and control robots using LEGO® WeDo kits

• Use smart hubs, motors, and sensors to bring models to life

• Learn how hardware and software work together

• Test, modify, and improve designs through guided challenges

💻 Coding & Programming

For all students (K–7):

• Visual programming using WeDo coding

• Logical thinking, sequencing, and debugging

• Connecting code to physical movement using motors and smart hubs

For Years 4–7:

• Introduction to Scratch & Arduino coding

• Understanding inputs, outputs, and basic electronics

• Writing simple programs to control hardware

• Building confidence in real-world programming concepts

🎯 Learning Outcomes

By the end of the camp, students will:

• Understand core engineering and mechanical principles

• Gain confidence in coding and robotics

• Apply mathematical thinking in practical situations

• Improve problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork

• Experience the satisfaction of building and programming working projects
