Lake Mac STEAM

Curious Minds Challenge

Through an Inspiring Australia grant Lake Mac Libraries ran a Curious Minds Challenge.

Schools were invited to participate in a day of supercharged STEAM fun at the Lake Mac Libraries Fab Lab. Students worked in teams through a creator workshop to craft an interactive learning experience with the aim of sparking curiosity and unveiling a key concept of science and technology. Each team of six students developed and built an engaging activity to form the basis of a hands-on science exhibit for the community. The workshops developed STEAM skills including innovation, creativity, design engineering and electronics.

Look out for the Curious Minds Exhibition in SEEN@Swansea during the April School Holidays.
