Curiosity Hub

Curiosity Hub is currently on hiatus. In the meantime, we recommend checking out the free, quality STEM home-learning content and activity ideas from STEM Learning! #StayHomeSaveLives #STEM #STEAM #COVID19

Check out this FREE event taking place in Lewes on Saturday 25th April! More details via Curiosity Sussex

We'll be running our Lego WeDo Robotics workshops at this event on Sat 25th January - get in touch with South Downs Leisure to book!

There's just a few spots left in our Lego Robotics workshop on Tuesday 29th October at Worthing Leisure Centre! Book directly with South Downs Leisure at https://www.southdownsleisure.co.uk/lego- workshop/

Over the past two weeks, we have had the pleasure of running a 'Project Management & Technology' course for Year 10 students on work experience at American Express. In teams, students created and coded a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot to fulfil a client brief in a limited time and then presented their solution to VPs and Directors at the end of the week! It was great to see them all rise to the challenge and practise their teamwork, project management and presentation skills in a real work environment. Well done!

This Spring/Summer we have been busy visiting lots of Sussex schools as part of STEMfest run by STEM Sussex! It has been great to introduce so many students to robotics and engineering using Lego and simple coding. Even better is seeing how they then modify their robots and create their own programs! One of the best (and actually common) bits of feedback we get from teachers is that students who aren't normally that engaged at school are getting completely stuck in and really enjoy the activity, which is just brilliant to hear and validates our hands-on learning approach.

We had an amazing time yesterday running our special event for the Spring Forward Festival! Girls aged 6-12 and their mum, grandma, aunt, or other female adult mentor were invited to come along to a free creative technology workshop and engage with Lego robotics and computer programming. The workshops were facilitated by Jacqueline Currie - an aerospace engineer and the founder of Curiosity Hub.
Massive thank you to our volunteers, event sponsors and Spring Forward for making the event possible!

We are proud to be part of Spring Forward Festival for the 5th year running! Girls aged 6+ and their mums or other female adult mentor are invited to come along to a FREE creative technology workshop (registration required).
We will be running four sessions throughout the day, for two different age groups of girls. The workshops will be facilitated by Jacqueline Currie - an aerospace engineer and founder of Curiosity Hub.
Spring Forward Festival is a Brighton-based month-long celebration of the role of women in digital culture. These workshops are free to attendees due to the kind support of the Festival sponsors.

Our February Half-term workshops are now open! We've got a Minecraft Dinosaur Dig, Sporty Lego Robotics and Stop-motion Animation to choose from - see the full schedule at thecuriosityhub.com

Our Home Education Science Group course next term will be 'Aeronautics & Astronautics'! For recommended ages 11-14.
Registration and more details online at: https://curiosityhubhomeedjan19thursday.e ventbrite.co.uk
Thursdays, 17 Jan to 14 Feb (5 weeks), 1.30-3pm at Lewes Friends Meeting House.
... Up, up and away! Through Curiosity Hub’s ‘hands-on’, interdisciplinary approach, students will learn about different kinds of aircraft and how the four main forces acting on them - lift, weight, thrust and drag - interact. They’ll also discover how airplanes are controlled and use paper airplanes to demonstrate these principles. Then it’s onto space exploration, how humans survive in space and future missions to other planets. Along the way, we’ll also discuss the societal and technological impacts that aeronautics and astronautics have had on our world.

Our Home Education 'STEAM Sampler' course next term will be 'Wizarding School with Lego WeDo Robotics'! For recommended ages 8-12.
Registration and more details online at: https://curiosityhubhomeedjan19monday.eve ntbrite.co.uk
Mondays, 7 Jan to 11 Feb (6 weeks), 10.30am-12pm at Lewes Friends Meeting House.
... We're off to Wizarding School! Students will each create a 'wand' and work in pairs to assemble robots using Lego® Education WeDo robotics kits, then use the visual drag-and-drop software to create 'spells' (programs) to instruct the robots to move, respond to sensors and play sounds! We'll also learn about the mechanics of motors, sensors, gears and pulleys. Models built include Alohomora (unlocking door), Screaming Mandrake, Magical Frogs & more!
