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

In our recent workshop, we had the opportunity to share our knowledge of hydraulics with participants. The session introduced them to basic hydraulic principles and how they are applied in real-life engineering. Participants each built a functional hydraulic arm using syringes, tubing and wood, gaining hands-on experience with the relationship between water pressure and mechanical movement. It was super satisfying to see their creation come to life and move with the push of a

They are constructed to create the illusion of independent movement, powered entirely by clever clockwork and hand-cranked mechanisms. Key Facts The history of automata stretches back to ancient times, with ear

Our journey to fundraising for Starship began during a market day fundraiser for our own club. This experience opened our eyes to a powerful realization: we have the capability to extend our efforts to support other important organizations like Starship. Our connection to this cause is deeply personal – as we have been children ourselves, many of us have been touched by Starship's care at various points in our lives. Our Message: "Kids Helping Kids " Through this fundraising

After lots of planning and preparation, our team, the KORU STEM club, finally managed to put together an engaging workshop, targeting younger children, at Albany Village Library. We all had such a blast and the children who participated were remarkably receptive to the intricate challenge and performed exceptionally! The Idea The idea had started to form when we realized how many creative workshops had stopped occurring in the library during the summer break, so we thought, "

After two months of extensive planning and preparation, our club's first workshop was a success! We were so fortunate to be joined by the wonderful residents at the Lady Allum Retirement Village. The residents had the opportunity to build simple electric circuits on paper to create light-up Christmas cards for themselves and their loved ones. This activity demonstrated that circuits don’t have to be complex to be effective. It was truly inspiring to see the seniors engage so
