HOLIDAY WORKSHOP

'Aircraft'

STEAM Powered Education is having its twentieth holiday workshop. The theme this time is 'Aircraft'. It will take place at Pier Avenue Baptist Church hall (CO15 1NJ), Clacton during the beginning of the Summer holidays on Tuesday 30th July. It will be from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm with snacks provided. Children will need to bring a packed lunch and pocket money.

This will be a workshop that will introduce some local history of the aircraft during the Second World War that were flying over and around Clacton either defending or attacking Britain. We will be looking into the history of Clacton during the war then making a range of aircraft. Additionally, we will be visiting The East Essex Aviation Museum in Point Clear during the afternoon.

The cost is £27 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!

What can you do?

Learn new skills

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.
