Our carefully crafted curriculum seamlessly integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into exhilarating outdoor experiences, ensuring an unforgettable educational journey for your students. Here’s how we make learning an adventure.

Orienteering

Embark on a journey of discovery as your students learn the art of orienteering. Equipped with maps, compasses, and critical thinking skills, they’ll explore the great outdoors while honing their geometry and spatial awareness. Engaging in hands-on challenges, students apply math to real-life situations, enhancing their problem-solving abilities and boosting confidence. 

Solar Powered Cars 

Witness the fusion of engineering and renewable energy as students design and construct their very own solar powered cars. Through hands-on building and experimentation, they’ll delve into the principles of physics, mechanics, and sustainable technology. As they race their creations, they’ll see first hand how scientific concepts translate into tangible results, igniting a passion for innovation. 

Radio Communications 

Communication is key, and what better way to teach this than through radio technology? Students will explore the fascinating world of wireless communication, discovering how signals travel and mastering the basics of wave physics. Engaging in teamwork-oriented challenges, they’ll learn to convey messages efficiently, fostering collaboration and improving problem-solving skills. 

Bicycle Blenders 

Combine fitness, nutrition, and physics with our bicycle blenders! Students power blenders by pedalling, creating delicious and healthy treats while learning about energy conversion and kinetics. This interactive experience connects physical activity with scientific principles, encouraging a holistic understanding of how our bodies and the world around us function.
