Get ready to bubble, pop and explode at MOTAT this January

Get ready to bubble, pop and explode at MOTAT this January

MOTAT is getting set for an action packed school holiday programme in January with fun-filled options that will suit kids of all ages and interests.

Under Pressure – 3 January to 1 February (image attached)
MOTAT’s latest school holiday programme, Under Pressure, is set to kick off the New Year with a bang. The programme will teach kids about the fascinating science behind pressure and will include topics such as jet propulsion, hydraulic systems, steam power and activities that build an understanding about how pressure can be controlled and used in daily life.

Lightbulb Labs – 19 to 21 January & 27 to 29 January
MOTAT will also be running its hands-on Lightbulb-Lab workshops. This will include a Film Festival workshop that helps kids to express their creative side by learning how to direct, produce and edit movies and an ‘Arduino Robotics and Scribble Bots’ workshop that lets young people design and make their own robot.

“There is a real focus on creative and fun learning here at MOTAT,” says CEO Michael Frawley. “One of our strategic objectives is to help shape the next generation of innovators and what better way to do that than to create activities that merge creativity, fun and science.”
