Holiday Programme

Our end of term and summer holiday programmes are designed to get your kids moving, learning and having fun. Using our own activities designed for schools to implement the new digital technologies, we have adapted it so that we can make these activities more personal to your kids. We have also designed our own activities for teaching science subjects such as chemistry, biology and physics.

We cater to kids aged 5 to 12. Contact us if your child is above the age of 12 and you are still interested in this programme.

As a bonus, if you are a QT&MR user, more resources like tasks, videos and printables will be uploaded so that your kids keep on learning even at home! The schedule of the holiday programme will always change so we will update you with the schedule two weeks in advance on the MakeRipples dashboard so that you can choose the days that suit you and your kid/s. If you are not a QT&MR user, you will be emailed the schedule.

At Qisma Tech, we aim to create a fun and encouraging environment so that whatever the interests and whatever the age, kids will be well taught and challenged to think outside the box!

The details of our daily activities do change from day to day depending on the number of kids joining us on that day. However, below is an overview of our daily schedule:

12:30 – 1:00	Lunch Time watch an educational video or tech discussion
1:00 – 1:30	Electronics/Programming games and explanations
1:30 – 2:00	Electronics/Programming games and explanations
2:00 – 2:30	Electronics/Programming games and explanations
2:30 – 3:00	Clean up and Q&As if there is time

• Design and Engineering focus on the Design Process and encourages the kids to think critically. For the older kids (ages 11 and up) they will either be in competition with each other or be given a mock client to solve a problem for.
• Science and Mathematics games focus on Chemistry, Physics, Space, Algebra and Geometry. This changes from day to day so that the kids can experience a variety of activities.
• Electronics and Programming will focus on developing the kids’ understanding in programming syntax, logic gate, circuit analysis, computational sequencing and debugging, if statements and for/while loops. And as usual, the older kids will be challenged further to then use this understanding into practice.

We will have snacks but your child should bring a packed lunch and drink bottle. Please do not bring anything containing nuts.

We are currently located at The Atom, Rutherford House 23 Lambton Quay, Pipitea, Wellington.
