Organized KAOS

Focus: Grades 7 to 9

UPDATE: Camp is now full.

Students gain confidence in themselves as they learn how to use a mitre saw, bandsaw, drills, impact drivers, and how to use a tape measure. In addition to the trades skills, students will learn basics in mathematics, specifically how to add, subtract and divide fractions in a hands-on way. This will combat the belief that mathematics is not useful in real life and create an excitement in learning these skills. Students will learn to respect the tools as they learn proper safety techniques. Adaptability skills will grow as students learn that it’s okay to make mistakes, and how to calmly solve problems that arise. 

Each student will get to build and take home a completed project.

For more information, contact David Eelkema at Grand Erie Teachers Resource Centre.
 

Program Timing:

• August 15 to August 19 at Tollgate Technological Skills Centre - CAMP FULL
