Young children in Westbury enjoying Paper airplane making
ATB Skateshop recently hosted an incredible day of STEM workshops in Wiltshire, partnering with the White Horse Soapbox Derby(Westbury Town Council) and HAF Wiltshire Council to create a memorable experience for local kids. Combining science, fun, and creativity, this event had something for everyone, making it a perfect day out for children and families alike.
The highlight of the day was an engaging STEM session focused on the principles of paper airplane making. The children learned about essential STEM concepts like aerodynamics, force, and gravity while designing and testing their creations. They explored how small adjustments to their paper planes’ folds could significantly affect their flight patterns, distance, and stability. This hands-on activity not only enhanced their problem-solving skills but also introduced them to real-world applications of physics and engineering.
In addition to the educational activities, the event offered plenty of entertainment to keep the kids delighted. A colorful bouncy castle was a huge hit, providing endless fun and a well needed energy release. Craft-making stations let the children unleash their creativity, making personalized keepsakes to take home.
No day is complete without a delicious meal, and the event organizers ensured that all attendees enjoyed a nutritious and satisfying lunch. This thoughtful addition was especially meaningful, demonstrating the event's commitment to both education and community well-being.
By blending STEM education with fun and engaging activities, ATB Skateshop and its partners created a unique opportunity for children to learn, play, and grow. Whether it was crafting the perfect paper airplane or bouncing around with new friends, the kids left with smiles and new skills.
If you're looking for exciting and educational opportunities for your kids, keep an eye out for future STEM workshops in Wiltshire. They’re the perfect way to inspire young minds while having a blast!
