Penang Science Cluster Workshops - Robotics, Squishy Circuit, Fun With Science - Pressure, Motor Challenge and Mathe-gami

The children attended several workshops at Penang Science Cluster during the school holidays. I just found out about it and arranged for them to attend, kind of in continuation of what they did not get to attend for Penang Science Fair. Papa was very good to go back-and-forth to register at the Penang Science Cluster office at Krystal Suite. It is near to Bayan Lepas FIZ, so I think it is convenient for those volunteers who work there.

The first workshop they attended is Robotics Level 1 (RM20 per child). However 哥哥 was not eligible to attend Level 2 due to his age. So we didn't sign up the children for Level 2, didn't want one to attend and the other not able to and whine & moan about it. Next school holidays we will definitely enrol them for Robotics Level 2. Didn't manage to get any photos for Robotics though, too bad.

The second Science workshop during the holidays they attended is Squishy Circuit (RM20 per child). They learnt about materials that conduct electricity and those that do not. When they brought back the little gingerbread-man, when connected with LED and battery, it does conduct electricity and light up!

After that, they attended Fun With Science - Pressure (RM30 per child). It was a super fun session conducted by Dr LoLo. He's so funny, according to the children. They laugh and laugh at his jokes. Well, I laughed at one too, which the children repeated to me. I mean, it's just too funny the way they describe about hair-dryer and toilet paper even though I didn't attend the class.

The next one is Motor Challenge (RM20 per child). There were many volunteers helping the children to build the motor and make it work. Cherry got a little gift for being one of the top 3 fastest motor.

Mathe-gami (RM20 per child) is the last one they manage to attend. They successfully made a froggie that really leap! Baby Orange was fascinated when Cherry showed him the leaping frog :)

Too bad they couldn't attend one class called Dodomons, it looked quite interesting. I had went all the way to pay cash, then only be told through phone that the children cannot attend as the class was full and they couldn't make adjustments. Had to go and get refund separately. Anyway, other than this time, there weren't any trouble before. So since the children enjoyed the workshops, we will continue sign up during school holidays.

The children enjoyed the workshops very much. They begged me to sign them up for more workshops if there are suitable ones that can be slotted in their schedule :)
