Learn how Design-Based Thinking can solve everyday problems.
Campers will use a design-based thinking model to identify common and complex problems, create possible solutions and test their creations.
Campers will have a wide range of materials available to them such as LEGO, Robots, Arts and Craft and iPads - all provided in their class each week
