While you hear about dream jobs and movies and building marble runs and remote-controlled games, the learnings are building websites; animation; exploring engineering and sustainability and engaging with coding and robotics.
Either way, our school holiday programmes are awesome!
The Mind Lab @ MOTAT is open for the holidays - let the games begin!

It has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial properties; making it useful for healing wounds, soothing eczema, relieving sunburn, dry skin, and rashes, including nappy rash. In fact it can be used for any irritated skin condition.
To make Calendula Oil place dried calendula petals in a glass jar. Cover them with a carrier oil of choice eg Sweet almond, Olive, Avocado, Apricot, Jojoba, etc. Put a lid on the jar and place in a sunny spot. Shake the jar every day or so. After about a month, strain off the oil and store ready for use.
If you prefer using a healing salve rather than an oil then put 1/3 cup of beeswax into a heavy based pot and heat on the lowest possible temperature until melted. Whisk in 1 1/4 cups of your infused calendula oil. If you would like to add a fragrance then add 10-20 drops of an essential oil of choice. Poor into jars, cool for a day, then cap and store ready for use.

Perhaps you're a first-time home owner who has opted to build, rather than buy pre-existing, or maybe you're seasoned home owners who have taken the first step to create your own dream home.
