Course description

Future Learning's Summer STEAM programme is about much more than incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths into the afternoon activity programme. The STEAM workshops engage students' creative and critical thinking skills in multi-sensory interaction with the physical world and help them develop the language to describe those experiences.

Our Incredible Young Learner Summer London STEAM campus is located in City of London School, right in the heart of London. The campus, also known as CLS, is an independent day school located on the banks of the River Thames next to the Millennium Bridge, opposite Tate Modern Art gallery. Famous past students include Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe and film director Michael Apted. City of London school is one of the most academically selective and successful schools in the UK. The school's sports facilities include a multi-purpose indoor sports hall, a 25-metre swimming pool, a gym, a rooftop AstroTurf football pitch and grass playing fields and athletics tracks at Grove Park, Lewisham. Music facilities include three ensemble rooms, ten rehearsal rooms and a music technology lab. Other facilities include the Great Hall with a Walker organ and Steinway piano, a sixth form common room, a bookshop, a
library, an archive room, three ICT labs, a drama studio, two playgrounds and a drama theatre.

Project-based means that in our classes learners will work over several days individually or in groups to explore a topic and create a digital product (a blog, website, video or animation) which describes their experience understanding, opinion and / or interpretation of the topic. These projects set the students the challenge of working to discover what their topic is about, plan how they will show it, solve any technical
problems and produce something that they are proud to publish. Technology is a tool in these projects, but it is in describing their plans and the process of realising them that their language skills are developed. The group projects means they work with others from different places and different cultures to collaboratively meet the challenges they are set and solve the problems they encounter. The skills that they develop in the course of doing the group project is also a key outcome, and one that we recognise on our summer school certificates along with technology and communication skills.
