After-School Extension Workshops for Children Aged 6 to 11 Years

Also known as the Bubble Dome “Thinkers Club”, this unique series of workshops is designed to help students develop lifelong lateral thinking skills to direct and enhance their own learning experiences both in the classroom, at home and in day to day life.

We are now taking bookings for our Term One 2008 programme which will be running at the Auckland locations listed below.

The Programme

Different problem-solving activities that make links into science, technology and design are explored each week. A report is provided to all parents about their child’s progress at the end of each term.

Weekly sessions comprise:

  • Science and technology experiments
  • Brain stretching warm-up challenges
  • Creative visualizations
  • Hands-on construction and model-making work
  • Research topics approached from unique angles
