Engineer Academy - Boats (School Years 1-6)

This is a specially recorded one-off class to explore the basics of engineering boats and the science behind it, with practical tasks and activities. 

The explorative and open-ended nature of this class means it is suitable for children in school years 1-6, though children in years 1-2 will require an adult with them to do the class.

The class is specially recorded to be as interactive as possible and we tell you the places to pause to complete the activities. Children who had attended our live classes during the summer and then trialled this class reported that this class worked even better than a live class for them as they could do it in their own time and pause to spend longer on activities when they wanted to.

The class can take around 1 hour to complete if time is spent on all of the activities.
