Dublin Young Learner Steam

코스 개요

Future Learning's Summer STEAM programme is about much more than incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths into the afternoon activity programme. The STEAM workshops engage students' creative and critical thinking skills in multi-sensory interaction with the physical world and help them develop the language to describe those experiences.

Our Incredible Young Learner Summer STEAM Dublin campus is located in Belvedere College, in the heart of Dublin City Centre. This is the school where James Joyce attended! The campus boasts a 25m 5 lane indoor swimming pool, a gym, a restaurant and refectory, a music suite, a museum and art gallery, one astro 7-a-side football pitch and a 60m eight lane rooftop running track. Also located a twenty minute walk away and part of the campus; 3 hard tennis courts, 1 astroturf and 5 grass rugby pitches, a cricket pitch, 1 grass soccer pitch. This is truly one of the best locations for an international summer school!

Project-based means in our classes learners will work over several days individually or in groups to explore a topic and create a digital product (a blog, website, video or animation) which describes their experience understanding, opinion and / or interpretation of the topic. These projects set the students the challenge of working to discover what their topic is about, plan how they will show it, solve any technical
problems and produce something that they are proud to publish. Technology is a too in these projects, but it is in describing their plans and the process of realising them that their language skills are developed. The group projects means they work with others from different places and different cultures to collaboratively meet the challenges they are set and solve the problems they encounter. The skills that they develop in the course of doing the group project is also a key outcome, and one that we recognise on our summer school certificates along with technology and communication skills.
