2025 Term 4

Sat

Trial Session

These phrases may sound strange, but in Lab 201™, we’re on a mission to test, build, and investigate what they might really mean, if we took them literally.

In this curiosity-filled STEAM course, each session turns a well-known idiom into a playful design or engineering challenge. From coding a butterfly that flaps inside your stomach to constructing a machine that actually lets the cat out of the bag, we’ll explore the wild intersection of language and logic.

Students will experiment with basic coding, simple machines, paper mechanisms and LEGO builds, all inspired by the imaginative phrases we hear every day. Through questioning, prototyping and playful iteration, they’ll discover how metaphor and meaning connect, while developing real-world problem-solving skills.

In this module, we’ll combine storytelling with structured invention. It’s language, logic, and laughter, all in one!

If you feel sick, please stay home and apply a catch-up lesson at a later time. Or, if you feel well enough, please join your session online via our app or this website. Regrettably, we can only provide catch-up lessons within your enrolled term based on availability. Any unused credit cannot be carried over to the following term.

For the fairness of the other students, for our clever tutors who provide the lessons that you love, the studio cannot offer a refund if you change your mind. Our in-studio workshops are strictly made up of the limited number of students enrolled before the start of each school term and have the appropriate resources allocated to accommodate the optimal learning experience for all students in the course. To ensure the staff and supplies can be maintained for the course, payment for their use cannot be refunded so that the remaining students may continue the learning and development they paid for. In the event of Covid-19 restrictions, workshops will resume online. No refund can be issued if you decide not to participate in online sessions.

If you are joining the workshop in person, just bring your lovely self! If you are a private lesson student, feel free to bring your own device, please allow half to one lesson period for your tutor to have your device set up to the studio standard. If you are joining online, great! Ensure your device is fully charged, and check with your tutor beforehand about what supplies you may need to prepare.

Choosing a class that suits your age group would be a great way to start. Your tutor will advise you if moving up or down a level may be more beneficial for your child. Check out the 'Find My Workshop' page for more details.
