EASTER HOLIDAY WORKSHOP - ROCKETS

STEAM Powered Education is having its twenty-third holiday workshop. The theme this time is 'ROCKETS'. It will take place at Pier Avenue Baptist Church hall (CO15 1NJ), Clacton on Tuesday 8th April 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 history of rockets and the physics behind rocket thrust. They will build rocket kits and their own rocket that they can then take home. After lunch, we will be going down to the beach to launch our rockets. Also available, will be the chance to purchase some of the commercial rocket kits at cost price.

The cost is £25 for the day. There are only 12 places available 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 our lives.

The Carpentry Kit

Teaching carpentry skills is enormously useful. Each carpentry sets contain all that is required to start measuring, cutting, making simple wooden frames, drill holes and hammer in nails.

Lego WeDo 2.0 Robotics and Coding set

A fantastic combination of making, robotizing and coding Lego. A huge array of educational activities for beginners to advanced lovers of robotics and coding.

Littlebits Star Wars Droid and coding

This is a very popular and educational kit. It helps with assembly and coding skills.

Airfix Starter Kits

Many children have not made plastic model kits so Starter Kits are a great introduction to the excitement had by building and painting a beautifully designed aircraft or vehicle.

Electronics kits

Learning about electronics is a valuable skill. Making series and parallel circuits and applying them to their inventions is a great way to introduce new skills.

Electronics and Breadboards kits

Breadboards are a great way to test electronics and make great little devices that can bring children onto a new level of understanding. Kits include resistors, capacitors, transistors, photoresistors, switches and an assortment of other interesting components.

New to the Summer term, Microbits! These clever little devices are able to be coded and fitted to robotic devices and are amazing at teaching all about how coding effects the real world.

We offer workshops learning about local STEAM related businesses such as the Wind Turbines, Lifeboat Station, Coastal defences and historical events.

MODEL Making skills

Model making skills are an often overlooked activity. There are many transferrable skills so it's not just about making a model
