Welcome to Codes

and Communications

Storytime STEM Workshop

Join us on an exciting journey into the world of communication with our Codes and Communications STEM workshop.

Step into the world of secret messages and signals! In this interactive workshop, children will explore different ways we communicate, from simple symbols to Morse code and semaphore. With hands-on activities and problem-solving challenges, they’ll uncover the science behind communication in a fun and engaging way.

This immersive experience is perfectly tailored for young minds aged 3-5 and 6-12, aligning with the EYLF, MTOP, and Australian Curriculum to ensure a rich and educational adventure.

Exploring Communication

For Our Youngest Participants (2-3 Years Old)

Our workshop begins with a playful introduction to the magic of communication for our youngest learners. Through engaging activities, children will discover the joy of expressing themselves using simple signals and symbols, setting the foundation for future language exploration. They will even get to dabble with some basic semaphore signals, such as aeroplane signalling, making the experience both fun and educational.

For Older Participants (6-12 Years Old)

Older children will dive deeper into the historical methods of communication. Hands-on lessons in Morse code and semaphore will take them back in time, where they'll learn to decipher secret messages and master the art of flag signalling. This exploration of past communication methods not only teaches history but also enhances their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
