A Makerspace Extravaganza : Ian and Leo’s camp
Intermediate • Ages 8 to 12
July 22 to 26 (5 afternoons)
1:30 PM to 4:30 PM
$310 + GST
For this camp Ian and Leo drew inspiration from the concept of makerspaces, but we can hear the chorus now: “what are makerspaces?”
They’re something quite revolutionary actually. A makerspace is a room (be that in a library, a school, or a warehouse) containing an array of tools and components that allow people to ‘enter with an idea and leave with a complete project’. The essence of these spaces are collaborative and community building, whilst allowing us to explore, create and improve things that already exist. You can see why this dynamic brother team chose this path to follow.
We’ll start each class with the stories of inventors through history before setting the day’s challenge.
Project Highlights:
​
Day 1: Cardboard Creations
​
-
For the first day of the camp, as a warm-up makerspace activity, we'll use recycled cardboard to create our own objects. This and every day's activities offer endless possibilities and allow for creativity and exploration.
​
Day 2: Mouse House Challenge
​
-
Design and build a cozy home for a mouse using a variety of materials. Let your creativity soar with scraps and bits!
​
Day 3: Appliance Dissection
​
-
With safety as our priority, we'll carefully take apart old appliances, learning about their inner workings and gathering materials for future projects.
​
Day 4: Innovative Creations

-
Using components from our dissected appliances, we'll craft fascinating new creations. It's all about giving new life to old parts!
​
Day 5: Balloon Launcher

We'll finish our week by building a launcher to throw a water balloon at a target. Precision and creativity will be key!
