What are STEAMS Courses?

STEAMS Courses, primarily for ages 8-13 (year 8), run throughout the year as one day workshops and 3-5 day holiday programmes.

The workshops strive to integrate 2 or more of the STEAMS areas: science, technology, engineering, art, maths, and/or society into each course. The MOI believes in helping teens develop confidence and leaderships skills, therefore, these courses are designed and delivered by senior college students. An adult teacher is always present in the class for health and safety.

The diverse range of courses includes: cooking, art, materials technology, digital technology, science, and specialty workshops like Magic the Gathering, roller-coasters, slime, and horror make-up.

If you’re not in Nelson, you can always try out our STEAMS kit to create your own STEAM experience at home.
