Clubs

These classes will offer a progression on term.one. Students will continue to build on their drama foundations and acting skills while working with scripted material. Term 2 will see students moving away from improvised scenes into an actual play. Ultimately, there will be an additional opportunity for members of this group to opt into a performance of Cinderella that will take place over a weekend in late June, in a theatre in Amstelveen.

 

This term, students will learn to apply their stagecraft, learn teamwork in scenes and continue to develop the character work of term one. The lessons will also involve components of musical theatre and for those choosing to join the performance there will be lines to be learned, as well as songs and dances.

 

The club leader, Rachel. Stewart has extensive experience as a writer, director and coach of children's theatre, she is also a seasoned performer and improviser herself.
Rachel founded the Active children's theatre group ten years ago and has since mounted twenty five children's theatre performances, as well as casting many of her students in 30 short films produced by Hans Kok productions for Nordhoff.
Rachel places great emphasis on developing each child as individuals, ultimately even writing them parts that extend and challenge them, while playing to their strengths. Shows, written by Rachel, are tailored to every child's ability level.

 

Rachel and her production team offer a tailor made approach to children's theatre. Her young energetic production team are all experienced performers, who are fully trained by Rachel in her methods and process. They provide excellent coaching support in vocals, dance and chore acting skills and work alongside Rachel to help realize a final end of school year production.

Over the last ten years, the media landscape has changed dramatically. Social media apps and filmmaking tools have become a fundamental part of our digital lives. Young people learn, socialize, explore their identities and engage with the world using their screens. Media literacy is now a basic literacy. In response to these developments, Film Crew Club offers hands-on classes in which we work with cameras, iPads and smartphones to explore animation and live action filmmaking. Students get a chance to act, direct, script, film, animate (2D & 3D), edit (iMovie), and create special effects in a wide range of media formats. Our media teams edit the material created in class and screen the final films each week to students. This creates a dynamic feedback loop that empowers learning. By making media together, students learn, first hand, how to look at it critically and how to engage with it safely and respectfully. Classes include playful exercises and games in which students learn to spot fake images, assess online content for risk, learn how editing and AI tools manipulate imagery and differentiate between authentic and sponsored content. All equipment is provided by us. Parents are sent links to online portfolios so they can view, read about and download the films made in class. Our policy is to fast-track beginners in the basics and to challenge more experienced students with new and exciting media projects.

At The Science Camp, we believe that learning should be an adventure filled with curiosity, creativity, and excitement. Our after-school clubs are designed to ignite a passion for science in children, providing a dynamic and engaging environment where young minds can explore, experiment, and discover the wonders of the world around them.

 

Our programs offer a unique blend of hands-on activities and interactive lessons that make complex scientific concepts accessible and fun. Whether your child dreams of becoming a biologist, an engineer, or simply loves exploring new ideas, our clubs cater to a wide range of interests and skill levels.

The LEGO® Challenge program is designed to teach students between 6 and 11 years old about basic math, physics, and engineering with motorized LEGO®. The program will enable children to explore common principles that are applied to everyday inventions like the lever principle, centrifugal force, speed increasing and power increasing transmission and much, much more.
This is all done in a fun edutainment way where entertainment and education are cleverly mixed. We see that our students absorb the lessons because of the mix of stories and demonstrations.

 

The highlight of each lesson is the building stage of a model that demonstrates the lesson’s subject using LEGO® bricks and Technic LEGO®. During the lesson, each participant receives our unique Young Engineers kit which has been designed and manufactured especially for this purpose.
Joan runs Young Engineers Amsterdam. She is a certified Young Engineers trainer and has experience teaching kids and adults. Besides building with Legos she also loves reading and watching movies. Dutch language will be incorporated into the lesson.
