WE’RE RECRUITING: ‘FULL STEAM AHEAD’ TEAM
A new out-of-school-hours informal learning programme, offering academic support with a creative twist.
FULL STEAM AHEAD
We’re building on the success of Remix Dance’s pilot homework club, to launch a new Out of School Hours Learning project at the Euston Community Hub (thanks to funding from The Euston Partnership via HS2) in response to the growing need for accessible Homework and study support in our community.
Our homework club and study support offers academic support with a creative twist, inspired by the STEAM educational approach. By putting the “A” of arts in Science Technology Engineering and Maths, we help children and young people approach homework, communication and self-expression in imaginative, engaging ways. Sessions blend structured homework with arts-based activities, movement, public speaking and creative problem-solving, making learning more motivating, confidence-building and fun.
The project is led and managed by ODAC’s Local Participation Manager: Mariam Hassan, with responsibilities for programme and workshop design and delivery; safeguarding, health & safety; promotion and recruitment.
