APRIL Holiday Programme-Nelson Intermediate

STEAMS is an integrated approach to learning topics of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths, and Society that fosters critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. Its aim is to teach real world skills through engaging methods whilst allowing individuals to be creative. 

STEAMS Holiday programmes follow the same principles. These courses are designed for 7-13 year olds (up to year 8).
