Our first Papakura Library Koru STEM workshop was a great success with an excellent turnout! The children had lots of fun creating paper circuits, learning how electricity works through hands-on play and creativity. One 5-year-old excitedly said, “I made my light blink — it’s magic!” Another 6½-year-old shared, “ The lights were so cool! I can’t wait to show my friends!” It was wonderful to see so many curious minds exploring and enjoying science together. We can’t wait for

Over the past two workshops, our young scientists explored wind’s fascinating dual role: how it can an be both constructive and destructive, both pushing away and pulling toward us through two hands-on experiments. Workshop 1: Mini Wind Turbine Engineering – Capturing Wind Power Our young engineers built working wind turbines to see renewable energy in action. By assembling the parts themselves, they learned how wind energy converts into electricity: wind pushes the blades, w

During the winter holiday, we went back to Lady Allum retirement village with our mobile interactive STEAM exhibition. Lady Allum was our first partner when we started reaching out to organisations, making this quite significant. One of the skills that we majorly improved was our understanding of what our audience understands and knows. After all, trying to figure out how to present something in a manner in which everyone can understand is not easy. The best moments were when

It was an excellent winter's day for our club’s very first mobile STEAM exhibition at Settlers Lifestyle Village. The day had an excellent atmosphere for around 45 residents, along with their grandchildren and other family members, to interact with our projects. Seeing them share opinions across generations has been undoubtedly a rewarding experience for everyone involved. The concept of a mobile exhibition originated after my 2023 visit to the MIT Museum. The museum’s focus

School holidays are here, and it's time to turn cleaning into an adventure! Building on Our Wind Series: In our June workshop, we explored how wind can be both destructive (hurricanes, storms) and constructive (powering Lightbulbs )? This time we're discovering how wind works both ways in another fascinating way – it can scatter things awayAND pull them together! Learn Through Building The spinning fan creates airflow that pulls air through the intake holes, creating suction

We’re excited to welcome two new members to our club: Arielle & Ethan! Both are in Year 8, with Arielle attending Papakura Intermediate and Ethan at Bucklands Beach Intermediate. They have proudly represented New Zealand at the International Robot Olympiad competition for the past two years. Their unique talent and passion for robotics and STEM will drive innovation, bringing fresh, valuable ideas to our team. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome!

Winter is on its way, bringing powerful winds with it! Would you like to turn nature's wild energy into something amazing? Join us to discover how destructive energy can become constructive power! The Science of Wind Wind is actually solar energy in motion! Imagine Earth as a giant pot of soup heated by the sun. Hot areas bubble up with rising air currents (high pressure), while cold areas cause air to sink (low pressure). The movement of this air from high to low pressure is

In our May workshop, participants had designed and built their own mazes. The goal was to show how the world of mathematics isn’t just about numbers on a page: it can be hands-on and fun! By using simple materials like cardboard and straws, we were able to explore mathematical thinking in a playful way. We aimed to make complex geometry concepts like angles, symmetry, and patterns tangible and exciting. Through this workshop, we helped change the perception of maths, transfor
