Classes

Electrical Engineering - Simple Circuits

Students will learn about energy, energy transformation, electrical circuits and the components they are made up of: wires, resistors, buzzers, lights and motors, in an immersive, hands-on way. Young engineers will explore, test and carefully select materials based on their ability to conduct electricity (conductors) or resist the flow of electricity (insulators) to design and create their own alarm system design. Each child will take home an artwork, card or mini game that they have created incorporating conductive tape, simple switches and LED diodes.

Due to the cost of the equipment parents are asked to register and pay term fee before week 1.

How can we know what will happen in our future? The God of the Bible has laid out for us a glorious future in His word, and it is a future full of joy, hope, peace and beauty. It’s not a secret, God wants you to know His plans for you and thoughts toward you. - ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.’ - Jeremiah 29:11

We have a future and a hope, and it’s glorious. During this class we are going to open the Bible together, and discover the promises and plans that God has for you. As we do, students will be challenged to let God’s future and hope for us, guide how we live for Jesus Christ today!
