EDITOR'S WELCOME
Raring2go! HOLIDAY CLUBS AND CLASSES In 1991 fifty children attended the first SciTech Science Holiday Club. It was so well received that in 1992 we moved to Manchester Metropolitan University where we reached the capacity of 300 children and so the concept of enthusiastic engagement of children in science and technology was truly begun. The self-evident success of the SciTech approach meant that in subsequent years the summer schools not only delivered spectacular handson science to capacity audiences in Manchester but also across Europe, Canada, Vietnam and South Africa. Each day covers a different subject and with 55 subjects from Animation to Zoology, there is no shortage of amazing Science to keep active minds amazed and earn SciTech the accolade of “a Holiday Club like no other.” This year’s programme: • Fire & Ice – minus 196oC to 2,400oC exciting demonstrations and hands on experiments. • Formula 1 – explore the science behind F1 cars and discover the unusual job of an F1 car’s wing. • Senses – think we have 5 senses? Think again and find out how the brain uses over 30 sensors. • Water – one of the most common chemicals but with some very unusual properties. • Robotics – program our robots to balance on two wheels.
