Wycombe Abbey Hong Kong recently hosted its first-ever iSTEAM workshop for Hong Kong children and their parents, and the event was a success. On Saturday the 27th of January, we opened our doors to Hong Kong children and their parents for a full day of immersive and hands-on learning in aerospace, technology, and programming. The workshop, which featured cutting-edge equipment and engaging activities, not only left participants inspired and eager to explore the exciting world of iSTEAM, but also provided an opportunity for families to bond in a new setting, and for parents to gain an understanding of the important school subject.
The iSTEAM workshop was designed with a clear vision in mind – to introduce young learners and their parents to the skills children need to thrive in an ever-changing world, including problem-solving, teamwork and tech proficiency. Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities that showcased the latest advancements in iSTEAM fields. One of the highlights was the 3D printing session, where children and their parents learned how to design and create objects using cutting-edge technology. This hands-on experience allowed participants to witness the transformative power of 3D printing and sparked their curiosity toward the subject.
Another exciting activity at the workshop was drone flying lessons. Participants were introduced to the world of unmanned aerial vehicles and had the chance to operate drones under the guidance of instructors. This thrilling experience not only provided an adrenaline rush but also highlighted the practical applications of drone technology in various industries.
The workshop focused on individual exploration and emphasised the importance of family bonding, with parents being encouraged to actively participate in the activities alongside their children throughout the workshop.
The success of the first iSTEAM workshop at the school has paved the way for future events and initiatives aimed at nurturing the next generation of innovative thinkers. The school plans to organise more workshops and educational programmes in future, offering children and their families the opportunity to further explore the realms of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
