Event Information
About this event
Bring your imagination and ideas to life at the THS Foundry this summer. The F.I.S.H Maker Camp is ideal for tinkerers with hands-on learning and have fun trying new things. Each day, they will learn the fundamentals of woodworking, 3D printing and laser cutting through a variety of exciting projects that integrate science and technology as well as arts and crafts. Young Makers will design and create unique projects to take home. By the end of the week, the skills learned include fabrication and the process of problem solving through engineering as they apply their math and critical thinking skills.
This course is open to ages 11 - 17+
About the F.I.S.H Program Leader: Ming Lau was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Toronto. She found my passion in teaching after years of working with galleries, art shows and graphic design. I became fascinated with STEAM learning and special education. My goal is to create interdisciplinary programs and projects that stimulate creativity and foster empathy of students from diverse backgrounds and with different learning styles and abilities.
Organiser The Harbour School
Organiser of Makerspace Camp (3 August - 7 August)
The Harbour School is a Pre-K to Grade 12 progressive international school, with three campuses on Hong Kong Island, offering an accredited American-based international curriculum, that is adapted to ensure learning success for a diverse, international population.
We use a project-based approach to teaching science, history and the arts by immersing students in authentic learning experiences and emphasizing skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, creativity, innovation and resilience. Through our experiential approach, students develop a global cultural literacy in an atmosphere of kindness, flexibility, respect and individualism.
We recognize children as complex individuals with differing interests, personalities, needs, and backgrounds, allowing for a personal approach to learning. Our school maintains a high ratio of teachers to students, enabling classes to work in small groups so that students are studying at their optimal level. THS is a model for providing 21st century education for typical, advanced and gifted children while also providing support for students in need of accomodations.
