SCHOOL INCURSIONS
Catering for all of your Design and Technology needs from prep-yr 6.
Effortless for educators, engaging for students
Make+Meld bring our workshops to you and provide Incursions to suit a variety of classroom needs - whether it be a structured curriculum aligned incursion linking other subjects such as Maths, Science or HASS or as a general Makerspace helping your students build prototypes to enhance the learning they do in your classroom.
Our School Incursions provide students with a hands on educational experience outside of the books and white boards. They are a great way to bring the real world into the classroom, engage your students, stimulate and excite their learning experience.
We supply tools, materials and expertise that not all schools have access to, and, of course we tidy up afterwards.
