It goes beyond just finding a happy medium between work and life, though. That life part also encompasses creativity.

In fact, a review of literature by Heather L. Stuckey and Jeremy Nobel shows that art can help people renew when dealing with trauma: “Art helps people express experiences that are too difficult to put into words, such as a diagnosis of cancer.” Visual arts aren’t the only medium that can help.

Mission 1 to Space & WeDo in Toowoomba
Saturday Morning Lego Club at the Toowoomba Museum
Our first ‘Mission to Space’ and ‘Lego WeDo’ Workshop for this term was off to a flying start. One group learned about orbits and built Lego Technic models and the other group learned about gears and programming using Lego WeDo.
It was wonderful to see the children’s enthusiasm and self-pride once they managed to overcome challenges and had success. They learned serious STEM concepts but were having fun and were using their hands and heads.
Mission to Space
Inspired by NASA this exciting after school program allows students to build a different interactive Bricks 4 Kidz® model each week and learn about the space program.
Junior WeDo Robotics
How would you like to turn your next LEGO® creation into a robot, programmed to do exactly what you tell it to do? Our Junior Robotics workshop offers all the fun of building with LEGO® bricks, PLUS the challenge of computer programming.
