Fire Safety

By admin

Explore the effects and chemicals that start and impact fires, while learning safety measures related to a laboratory environment. Before conducting any experiments, leaners will be introduced to personal protection equipment (PPE) when in a laboratory environment. Learners then will learn about how fires are started and are introduced to fire triangles. The session also … Continued

Structures

By admin

Explore challenges that encourage students to try new approaches to problem-solving and make adjustments as a team. This competitive workshop asks groups of leaners ‘Who can make the tallest tower?’ Which group can build the longest overhang from the edge of the table. And then who can make a marble take 20 seconds exactly to … Continued

Crumblebots

By admin

Get creative while students build a programme in Crumble to move a Crumblebot through different challenges. The session starts with a discussion on simple programming Boolean logic.
