Learn about STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) in a way that is fun, find out more about life at sea, learn about teamwork skills, learn about the local area and what’s above and below the water, learn more about one-use plastic and environmental issues….with learning onboard Challenge Wales | Wales’ Tall Ship and in Cardiff Bay.
Our Sea & Tell nautical learning/ocean literacy sessions provide a great opportunity to learn outdoors while having fun.
Each 3 hour session is structured, and the programme tweaked according to the needs of the group and the learning objectives of the group but generally the sessions will also cover literacy, learning new skills such as tying knots, bring science to life, allow a safe space to learn and talk and involve a short microplastic survey on the path in Cardiff Bay. These activities do not involve sailing, so are open to more young people and a wider age range to join us.
How to join us?
