Story STEAM Projects
In our first block (pre-recorded) we design and make a moving picture that uses levers and linkages, a pulley and even light it up with an LED!
What you need: You can source your own materials for Story STEAM projects (info in the membership area) or purchase a kit here: https://www.storysteam.com/buy-a-kit/
Watch this space for info on our Autumn project...
micro:bit Club
Our first block (pre-recorded) explores the outdoors through hands-on coding challenges using the micro:bit including tracking the temperature, light levels, sound and the force of the wind!
Each week during term time, you'll be able to watch a pre-recorded tutorial to learn new skills and join a live session to experiment, share ideas or get help. Whether your children prefer to work at their own pace with the pre-recordings or dive straight into live sessions, this club is designed for flexibility and fun.
What you need:
- A micro:bit starter kit - If you don't have a micro:bit yet, check out the Story STEAM Academy shop for starter kits. https://www.storysteam.com/product/microbit-starter-kit/
- 2 screens - one to watch tutorials / join live sessions and a second screen to code on. Alternatively, you can code a micro:bit using a bluetooth enabled tablet or ipad. For this, you need to download the micro:bit app.
- For some projects, you'll need some extra components such as crocodile clip leads, servo motors or simply cardboard, foil and other household materials.

Terms and Conditions apply
Terms and Conditions for Class Sign-Up
By booking a place on classes or clubs, you agree to the following:
1. No Cancellations or Refunds
All bookings are final. We do not offer refunds for cancellations or changes in personal circumstances. Missed sessions cannot be refunded or rescheduled.
2. Illness or Absence
If your child is unable to attend a live session due to illness or other commitments, we are unable to offer a refund, credit, or make-up class.
3. Class Cancellations by Us
If we need to cancel a session (e.g. due to tutor illness or technical difficulties), we will offer an alternative date for catch up sessions.
4. Behaviour and Participation
We expect all participants to behave respectfully. If a child’s behaviour disrupts the class, we reserve the right to remove them without refund.
Cameras should be on at the start of every session but can be turned off after that if they wish. However, the idea behind small group sessions is to create a collaborative environment where the groups can get to know each other so I encourage cameras to stay on. :o) Participants may use the chat function, unmute their microphones to speak or simply hold up their models to show what they have made.
