STEAM WORKSHOPS

Spring Project: Smart Plant Monitor

Hands-on tech. Real-world science. Learning that sticks.

Weekly on Wednesdays | 8:00-11:00am | 14th January – 25th February

Missed the earlier sessions? No problem, students can still join from now and will be supported to settle in smoothly.

For students joining part-way, fees are calculated weekly and applied on the payment form every Thursday. You’ll only be charged for the remaining sessions.

About

Our Smart Plant Monitor workshop is a hands-on STEAM experience for curious learners who want to go beyond worksheets and screens. Across seven weeks, students work like young scientists and engineers – coding real technology, investigating plant biology, heading outdoors for fieldwork and building a working system they can be proud of.

Sessions run weekly on Wednesdays from 8:00-11:00am and are taught in separate classrooms by experienced male and female science and coding teachers. This structure creates a calm, focused environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, collaborating with peers and trying new things. Many families find this approach especially supportive for confidence, engagement and independence in STEAM learning.

Students will:

Investigate how soil conditions, water and light affect plant growth through hands-on experiments and outdoor fieldwork.

Program micro:bits connected to environmental sensors and see code control real-world outcomes.

Create a working plant monitoring system and design a protective casing using 3D design and making skills.

Use measurements to spot patterns, compare results and improve designs – maths used meaningfully as part of the project.

Move sensors, test accuracy and refine designs; learning that engineering is about iteration, creativity and resilience – not perfection.

Work together, share ideas, solve problems as a team – and have fun while doing it!

Why choose this workshop

  • In-person, hands-on STEAM (not online or theory-only)

  • Real technology and tools students don’t usually access at home

  • Collaborative teamwork in small, focused groups

  • Learning that feels purposeful, engaging and genuinely fun

This workshop is ideal for curious learners who enjoy practical challenges, teamwork and discovering how science and technology solve real-world problems like food security and sustainability.

Places are limited to keep groups small and hands-on.

If your child thrives when learning is active, purposeful and fun, this is not one to miss.
