Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics
Built and launched 18 rockets (and succesfully recovered 12!)
Assembled and raced around the playground in an electric go kart
Constructed and decorated our own lightsabers
Built MAD machines (artistic automaton)
Made some marvelous marble runs
Soldered together a game console and Designed then 3D printed cases for them
Designed and constructed, from scratch, electric model vehicles
Decorated and seen how far we can fly our own model gliders
In STEAM club you'll make some super cool things with your friends and learn some advanced stuff while you do it. Each week you'll build on what you've made and learnt before and have something awesome to take home at the end of term (if it doesn't blow up spectacularly!).
You don't need to be good at computers. maths or drawing, but you must be able to:
Listen
Follow step by step instructions (at the level of a complex lego set)
Help each other out
(Secret bonus ability: Dream up crazy, fun, ideas)
If you'd like to learn about computers, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, rockets, electric vehicles, and how it all works - this might just be the club for you.
There will be 8 places in the first (Autumn term) and 10 in both subsequent terms
The club runs on Fridays during term time 3:30 to 4:45
The cost is £10 per session which includes all materials (approx £100 to £120 per term in advance)
Payment is via Tucasi Scopay (which I believe accepts vouchers)
I believe that STEM opportunities should be available to all, if you believe the cost of the sessions would be a challenge for you please reach out to me.
Your child will get to keep most of the items they create (unfortunately not the full size go kart!)
If your child finds it isn't for them let me know as soon as possible, the club tends to be popular and the place can be offered to someone else (so you'll get a refund for the remaining weeks)
The theme for the spring is computers and gaming.
You'll be given the parts to make your own Gameboy type device. You'll learn what all the different parts of the computer do, mess around with an operating system (learn what one is!), learn how to install software, play some games, figure out how to network your computer with your friends so you can play with them, build your own custom case and get it 3D printed!
The theme for the summer is movement and propulsion.
You'll be building different types of vehicles - Competing to build the best model vehicle, assembling and driving in a full size electric go kart and seeing who can build a rocket that can fly the highest - I'm hoping at least 400m!
