HALF TERM HOLIDAY WORKSHOP - DRONES
STEAM Powered Education is having its twenty-fifth holiday workshop. The theme this time is 'TANKS'. It will take place at Pier Avenue Baptist Church hall (CO15 1NJ), Clacton on Tuesday 28th October from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm. Snacks will be provided, however, children will need to bring a packed lunch.
During the workshop, the students will learn about the way drones work and a bit of the history of drones. We will assemble a DIY Drone Kit, customise them, test them then take them down to a Clacton Leisure Centre Recreational Ground to fly them (Weather Permitting). They can then take them home at the end of the day. Collection point will be the Clacton Leisure Centre Recreational Ground.
The cost is £40 for the day. This is largely due to the costs of the Drones. It appears that finding reasonably affordable DIY drone kits is difficult. There are only 10 places available on a first come, first serve basis, so book early to secure a place.
I hope you agree that it will be worth it!

We believe that it is important to develop ‘hands on’ skills. These skills are often underdeveloped especially in the age of screens and sedentary lifestyles that dominate contemporary life.
