HOLIDAY WORKSHOP

'Sailboats'

​

STEAM Powered Education is having its eighteenth holiday workshop. The theme this time is 'Sailboats'. It will take place at Pier Avenue Baptist Church hall (CO15 1NJ), Clacton during the Easter holiday on Tuesday 2nd April. It will be from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm with snacks provided. Children will need to bring a packed lunch.

​

This should be a workshop that will introduce some local history of the Brightlingsea Smack fishing sailing boats. We will be looking into how a sail works to create forward motion. We will then build a small sailboat based on the Brightlingsea Smack. After a short lunch, we will travel to Brightlingsea and visit the Brightlingsea Museum where there are lots of displays and equipment from the boats built in Brightlingsea. 

 

Additionally, we will be either taking our boats to the boating lake in Brightlingsea to test them out or visiting a beautifully restored Smack 'Pioneer'. This has still to be confirmed. 

 

This construction and local history based STEAM workshop is perfect for developing their creative skills, and learning a bit about sailing boats.

​

The cost is £28 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!
