Unlock a Summer of STEM Adventures in Gloucestershire HAF!
Summer 2025 is shaping up to be our most exciting yet—and we want you to be part of it.
This year’s Summer Holiday Activity & Food Programme is rolling into the Forest of Dean and Tewkesbury with a line up of hands-on workshops guaranteed to spark curiosity, build confidence and deliver serious fun for young explorers of all ages. Whether your child dreams of racing a wind-powered car, designing a disaster-proof home or programming a LEGO robot, we’ve got them covered.
Why Join Our STEM-Powered Summer?
Hands-on Learning: Kids learn best by doing. Our workshops let them tinker, experiment and problem-solve in real time—skills they’ll carry into school and beyond.
Build Confidence: From pitching ideas to presenting finished models, participants sharpen their communication and teamwork skills.
Cultivate Problem-Solving: We challenge young minds to ask “why” and “what if,” fostering logical thinking and innovative solutions.
Stay Active: Learning off-screen, collaborating with peers and moving between stations keeps everyone engaged, energized and ready for the next challenge.
