Chinese student science & technology camp in Sydney Follow FizzicsEd Articles: Comments 0 We love running science & technology camps for Chinese students visiting Sydney! The opportunity for Chinese students to visit Australia on a STEM camp is fantastic; not only can students learn about STEM in the Australian context but also the students have the opportunity for cultural exchange as well as immersion in the English language. Recently we ran a Chinese STEM camp for students in collaboration with Airis Education and the Boya International Education Group. Over three days, we worked with students aged 10 to 14 to run a science & technology accelerator designed for students to understand how technology can be applied in their lives as well as how the scientific method works. 3D prints created by Chinese students on a STEM camp in Sydney The three teaching days during the camp were broken up into sections: Day 1 – 3D printing Day 2 – Coding with Scratch and Fliprobotics Day 3 – Science workshops on Forces & Friction workshop, a Liquid Nitrogen show, a Chemistry workshop and a Chemistry show. Hands-on science with students from China on an Australian STEM camp visit From demonstrations to guided science experiments, the visiting students had a blast! Working with small groups of students allowed us to cover a lot of educational content as well as spend time with each student to help them learn more throughout the camp. Translation was not an issue as we were able to team teach with the student’s teachers and accompanying parents to have important concepts and vocabulary translated.
