QAGTC 2022 Children's Challenge Workshops for the Gifted

QAGTC has decided to offer a limited number of workshop opportunities for gifted children.

One day only - Tuesday 5th July 2022

Computer kids 1

The event is Convened by The Queensland Association for Gifted and Talented Children Inc. in conjunction with Our Lady’s College, Annerley.

Challenge 2022 offers workshops for students aimed at providing valuable opportunities for gifted youngsters to experience the excitement of extending their learning in novel and engaging workshops conducted by experts in a variety of disciplines.

Gifted children can mix with like minds as they are encouraged to explore their potential. (Students are recognised as gifted when they can operate at levels of learning well above that which is normal for their age peers.  Gifted education programs are designed to provide opportunities to engage with tasks achievable by students two years in advance of a gifted child's chronological age.)

This exciting program of workshops is specifically designed for gifted children in Queensland. QAGTC is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers to benefit gifted children.

Details on each workshop are available at www.qagtc.com.au.

 Masks to Masterpieces (Val Bartholomew)

Drawing and creating come naturally to young children. Join this class if you want your child to be extended by exploring methods for solving problems creatively while having fun. They will learn basic art skills such as shape, structure and shadows while feeding their imagination to help unleash their inner artist!

Your child will be challenged to develop their creativity and observational skills while enhancing their natural abilities by trying new tasks. Drawing has numerous developmental benefits e.g develops fine motor skills, encourages visual analysis, helps with concentration, increases confidence, is a means of emotional processing and teaches creative problem solving.

My pet, Mutzi is missing. There was a note in my letterbox. It said, “Got your dog. Find him, Bring chocolate to the park, or else”. Help me find Mutzi please. You will need your science skills to follow the clues and find out who took him and where we can find him.

 Designing an Earthquake resistant building (Ryan Forster)

The Earth is constantly moving! Sometimes this movement can have catastrophic consequences. Societies who live in earthquake areas need to find ways to co-exist with Earth movement. This activity involves the investigation of the effects of earthquakes of buildings and the subsequent factors involved in the design of earthquake resistant structures. Students are to research, design, build a model structure incorporating these design factors, and test the structure under the simulated effects of an earthquake.
