A great day with a few students at Grip education.
We completed and finished off some birdhouses ready for there new locations.
Why birdhouses ?
A simple project like this introduces young people to STEM in a fun, engaging way while developing practical skills they can carry forward. Plus, they get to see their work make a real impact in nature!
Tools, measurements and creativity.
Would your child enjoy a hands-on STEM challenge like this?
Our alternative provision will soon have set days especially for woodworking. A full timetable is available at request.
