SUMMER HOLIDAY WORKSHOP -
LIFEBOATS
STEAM Powered Education is having its twenty-seventh holiday workshop. The theme this time is 'LIFEBOATS'. It will take place at Pier Avenue Baptist Church hall (CO15 1NJ), Clacton on Wednesday 12th August from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm. Snacks will be provided, however, children will need to bring a packed lunches for the two days.
During the workshop, the students will learn about the history of Lifeboats and the RNLI. Next, we will build our own lifeboats and spray paint figurines to look like RNLI volunteers. After lunch, we will walk down to the lifeboat station at Clacton and be given a guided tour. I will push for a viewing of the interior of the new Shannon Lifeboat which is particularly impressive.
The cost is £25 for the day. This is largely due to the costs of the equipment used. There will be a kit that the children can take home at the end of the day. Children are encouraged to take a bit of pocket money as we will be visiting the RNLI gift shop no more than £12. We will return to Pier Avenue Baptist Church at around 3.20pm for collection. There are only 12 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!

 Skills sessions to build basic skills of cutting, drilling, fixing/gluing, measuring and hammering. |  Wedo 2.0 develops coding, building and mechanical engineering 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 contemporary life.
