<\/a><\/p>\nStudents take part in group projects as well as individual and small group activities. Students learn new skills and have ample opportunities to implement these new found skills during the course of the week.<\/p>\n
Time is also allocated to \u201cfree play\u201d each day. This provides students with the opportunity to develop their level of play with their new found skills.<\/p>\n
\n- Using toy construction bricks the young engineer is taught by qualified individuals to construct colourful creations such as buildings, pyramids and towers.<\/li>\n
- Children work in groups and get individual attention to ensure their day is filled with fun, as they learn the very basics of construction, balance, engineering and design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a><\/h3>\nAges: (5-7) years<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- This workshop based summer camp allows children to develop their construction and engineering abilities.<\/li>\n
- They will be taught the basics of structural engineering using plastic bricks and construction pieces by a qualified engineer.<\/li>\n
- Both individual and group projects are carried out across the week, ensuring a fun-filled, highly educational week.<\/li>\n
- Students will leave with a basic knowledge of structural engineering concepts such as the effect of force, balance and suspension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Science Experiments<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/columbusclub.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/since-experiments-1200x403.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Students absolutely love this module.\u00a0 It is totally hands-on with the students working in pairs and actively carrying out the experiments themselves once shown by the science tutors.\u00a0 It\u2019s a fun and exciting module as well as being super educational.<\/p>\n
From building a Ferris wheel to Exploring Surface Tension, from Elephant Toothpaste to Dancing Raisins, from Sink or Float to Exploring Colours with Baking Soda\/Vinegar, from Magnet Magic to Will it melt?, from LEGO Boats to Magic Milk Experiment, from Exploding Soap to Magical Balloon and many many more experiments, one of these simple experiments might just be the light bulb moment that inspires your child to be a scientist for life!!!<\/p>\n
