Holiday Programmes

Our holiday programmes run from 9am-4pm (optional wrap around care from 4pm-5pm) and have a limit of 15 children. This is to ensure that individuals of all levels of experience and ability in robotics and invention education receive personalised support to develop to their potential. Each day of our holiday programme is different so that children can attend for as many days as they like and never attend a repeated session. Our holiday programmes are heavily differentiated to ensure that children who already attend our term time courses are challenged and able to develop new skills whilst children who are new to educational robotics and invention learning are able to take the first steps. Attendees spend their day engaged in challenge based STEM activities in both the Discovery STEM Education Centre based at Kelham Island Museum (Sheffield) and in the main Kelham Island Museum building.

Holiday programmes are run by highly experienced staff (Qualified Teacher Status and post-graduate research degrees in STEM subjects). All staff are DBS checked and fully qualified first aiders.

PhD students from the robotics and Engineering Departments at Sheffield University attend holiday programmes as role models to provide an insight into University level research which is directly related to the educational programmes that we run. Certificates stating the skills that your child has covered will be awarded.
