Playful Discovery, Experimentation, Exploration, and Creativity
Three intense and successful weeks of the «Educational Summer Lab 2024» are now behind us. From July 22 to August 9, 2024, exciting workshops and activities for children ages 8 to 11 took place at the Educational Lab in Lakeside Park. A total of 54 children participated and explored a wide range of topics—from the environment and sustainability, technology and crafts, careers and role models, to leisure and creativity. In an inspiring environment, the children were able to experiment, explore, and bring their own ideas to life.
The program highlights ranged from building and exploring in the Educational Lab to trying out crafts and exploring the Lendspitz-Maiernigg Nature Reserve, as well as creative challenges and sustainable projects. Programming, using microscopes, and soldering were also on the agenda. There was a special focus on playfully learning about various career paths that transcend traditional gender roles. The diverse range of activities and the dedicated staff ensured a successful blend of learning, discovery, and fun. Quiet spaces for free play, reading, or relaxation rounded out the program.
The positive feedback from the children and parents was particularly encouraging. Many have already expressed a desire to participate again next year. The variety of workshops—made possible by the dedication and expertise of the workshop leaders—was especially highlighted and was crucial to the program’s success.
We would like to thank EqualiZ for the comprehensive planning, organization, and implementation, and everyone involved for their valuable contributions! We’re already looking forward to next year!
