Navigation Skills

The ability to read the world around us to find our way has been an essential life skill for millennia. As people become more reliant upon technology this awareness of the signs and cues given to us by nature is being slowly lost. This experiential session aims to get the students to open their senses to the natural world around them to identify different natural navigation markers to help them find their way.

Pioneering 

A perfect activity for encouraging STEM subjects and team work. Students collaborate to make structures to support the whole team using only wooden poles and ropes!
