We are thrilled to offer five STEAM Challenge Days in the October half term, Monday 31st October through to Friday 4th November, at Ditcham Park School.
The Challenge Days take place between 09.30 and 15.30 with drop off from 09.15 and the cost is £40 per day.
The Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (STEAM) related Challenge Days will provide children with opportunities to work in teams and on their own solving puzzles, exploring outdoor trails, playing spy games of sabotage and misinformation plus code breaking using semaphore and morse code. There will be a balance between the traditional and modern with iPads being provided by School.
No prior knowledge of technology is required; each Challenge is beginner friendly.
The sessions will, most importantly be enjoyable and an opportunity to make new friends with the additional benefit of developing strategy skills and personal confidence.
More details are on our website www.ditchampark.com/STEAM
If you have any queries about the Challenge Days please email STEAM@ditchampark.com
We very much look forward to welcoming you and your child up to School.

But beware, you are not the only spy! Reveal the other team’s spies and avoid collateral damage.
This will be a day of various spy games of code breaking and revealing secrets and following instructions from the spy master.
Throughout the day, we will run different themed escape room challenges.
Make puzzles, come up with riddles and activities and challenge each team to solve them in order to escape the room.
Work together to investigate clues, solve riddles, find out secrets in order to unlock the room and break out.
Join us in this one-day club where we will learn how to intercept communications and decipher coded messages as well as build a circuit to send secret messages.
