Junior Inventor (Tweens)
Jump-start your child’s engineering journey!
In this brand new school holiday workshop, students will get an inside look into the science behind every day gadgets. As common devices like your car GPS and fridge become smarter, engineers of the future will need to understand how to connect both hardware and software. Students will leave with the confidence and curiosity to create projects that interact with the world around them.
Subject specialists teach you how to use electronic components such as microprocessors, motors, switches and LED’s to create individually designed projects such as keyboard instruments, temperature sensors or just about anything else they are able to imagine.
