Learning aims

Aim 1

Design and build a car using a variety of materials which you will launch with a slingshot. Explore the science of air resistance through hands-on activities testing drag forces and motion.

Aim 2

Our activities are hands-on and lend themselves to children with special educational needs including autism and ADHD. We will have a colouring and craft for children who may need time out of a break from the main activities. A great way to try something new whilst having fun.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
