2021 Winter Events at Laurus International School

Looking for fun educational events for your children this holiday season? Laurus International School has got you covered.

Laurus International School of Science invites primary school-aged children to join in on some amazing winter-themed experiences and activities at its fun and educational science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) winter day camp or five-day school—both open to the public. 

STEAM Winter Camp 2021: Christmas STEAM Wonderland

The Christmas Wonderland winter camp will present a range of seasonal projects that will engage your child in unique STEAM activities over five days. Questions like: “How do Christmas lights work?” and “What technology could we use to make Santa’s sleigh fly?” will be asked and worked out by the children and facilitators. 

What technology could we use to make Santa’s sleigh fly?

Students will also be able to create their own holiday desserts with science sweets coordinator Sachika Ohta. Students who join for the whole five days will also receive a special gift. Challenge your kids to experience new opportunities and allow them to enjoy hands-on games and festive activities! 

Both full-day and half-day courses will be available over the camp period from Dec. 20 to Dec. 24, 2021. Children joining the camp will not be strictly required to participate for the whole five days and can instead choose the number of days they wish to participate. However, applications must be filled and submitted by Dec. 13, 2021. This program is recommended for children aged 6 and younger. 

STEAM Winter School 2021: Light it Up! Welcome to the Wonderful World of Light

This year, Laurus will be offering primary school children a welcome to the wonderful world of light and the chance to participate in workshops such as kaleidoscope and UV slime making. The Laurus winter school will allow students to explore light and its amazing properties, immersing them in some amazing experiences and activities. Students will discover more about the fantastic world that surrounds us all. Also, shadow puppeteer Jack Lee Randall will be a special guest speaker during the course. 

Both full-day and extended morning courses will be available over the five days from Dec. 20 to Dec. 24, 2021. Applications must be submitted by Dec. 6, 2021. This program is recommended for primary students in grades one to six. (First-grade students must be born between April 2, 2014 and April 1, 2015.)
