Light up Our Street:
Build illuminated architectural Maquettes using electrical circuits

“Amazing! They were all engaged and learnt so many new skills in relation to Science, Tech, Art, Engineering and Maths.

It was lovely to see the children working together and sharing each others skills. Joining all the houses together at the end created such a sense of pride in their teamwork too.

A brilliant session - thank you!’
