This summer season why not come on a journey with us to see where your imagination and creativity can take you? Rain or shine, IET Education has lots of activities to keep your child busy over the summer holidays.
Children aged between 4-11 years old can make air powered cars and rubber band powered helicopters or learn about bridges that don’t seem joined up.

Or for those with an adventurous spirit, think of a way to get a lighthouse keeper back to shore safely or you could spend a night under the stars and learn about the materials your tent is made from and what constellations you can see in the night sky!

Teens aged 12–16 years old can design their own futuristic and sustainable pair of sunglasses; calculate journeys around the world, tie dye a patterned picnic blanket, or even engineer their own zip line around the home or garden!
