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!
