Each session you can find clubs in different domains that the learners are passionate about

You’ll pick up handy skills to help your parents at home and see how fun it can be to take care of your own space.

Carpentry

In this club, children will explore the fundamentals of woodworking in a safe, hands-on environment. Focusing on basic skills like measuring, sanding, hammering, and simple joining techniques, students will create practical rustic projects such as birdhouses, small stools, toolboxes, and more—building confidence, creativity, and problem-solving along the way.
