Tinkering is the perfect introduction to electronics, circuits and basic coding with students given the opportunity to get hands-on and investigate how circuits work. They will also explore some solar energy, conductors, insulators and the components that can make up various kinds of circuits in this wonderfully engaging STEM/STEAM incursion. Basic coding is part of one rotation as students enjoy machines at work through team obstacle course challenges.
Our qualified teachers are fantastic at tailoring the sessions to suit your focus so please give us as much detail as possible and we will make it happen.
