Yikes Holidays October

We are having so much fun these holidays.
As well as our awesome Minifair Fridays (see our facebook for photos) we are also engaged in many other enterprising activities.
This airplane is part of our Sonic Dad projects. Solomon made this and the lights underneath the wings glow in the dark. Way cool. While the younger boys were making these the older boys headed out to Richmond for projects using powertools at the Menzshed.

Highlights from Basic Engineering Techniques with Kim Brice

It started with an egg and materials found round the home Would their egg survive dropping from a height and land without cracking? There would be some prospective engineers I would climb into any aircraft they built, but some I am afraid I would think twice about, after seeing some splatter lol. Kim 's workshops never ceased to amaze me how all the children were engaged and on task. That is a great skill.  Engineers need to test their design Did the egg land safely ??? Yikes was privileged to host three workshops tutored by Kim Brice. The kids were engaged and learnt valuable skills and were able to enjoy the journey of design and engineering. Kim is a local designer and business owner ~ click here to learn more about Kim and his business.

Cycle Adventures in the mix....

Spooners Tunnel on the agenda - headlamps and bikes! Nelson has so many incredible cycle trails and bike tracks to explore. We want to give the children at Yikes a taste of this adventure but also help them develop practical skills around this. Thomas Smith our French connection is passionate about cycling and will impart his knowledge and passion to the kids. Thomas will conduct workshops in the holidays covering bike maintainence and obstacle/slalem courses and then in the afternoon the kids will head out to ride some trails.
