The advantage of workshop at our club house is that you get to see our collection. Space Apple conducts various workshops in aviation for children who are 10 years and above at our club house.
A typical workshop will include animated multimedia presentations to clear the fundamentals and principles of aviation. The knowledge gained through presentation will help them experiment with ideas. This will help them build solid foundation which in turn will answer many of their doubts while participating in hands on sessions.
We will be looking at collection of our aero models and Kites we will be explaining them the design and flying characteristics of the models with demonstrations.
Aviation: The hands on sessions will involve building model planes using paper, foam, thermocole and balsa. The various models that we can build in the workshop are basic gliders, catapult gliders, scale models, towline gliders, and Remote controls aircrafts.
Kites: In case of kites we will be using various types of paper and fabric. We have stock of zero porosity rip stop polyester for making parafoils kites. We can make kites of various shapes and sizes which include delta kites, diamond kites, parafoil kites, stunt kites etc.
Testing and demo
The workshop will end with testing the models or kites on the field. If the batch size is over 15 then along with flying the model made by the participant we may also fly kites and aero models from our collection. We can also organise parasailing, paragliding or paramotoring flying and joyrides for nominal additional cost.
Charges: Facilitator and resource charges plus cost of material used for the workshop. Material charges will start from Rs. 10. Facilitator and resource charges would depend on model chosen and number of participants in the batch.
Module I : Half day session
Timings: Morning batch - 9:00 am to 12:00 am. Evening batch - 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Module II : Full day session
Timings: 9:00 am to 12:00 am and 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Module III: Customised workshops for individuals depending on the age and level of interest. The course will be decided after personal meeting with the participant.
We have no issues conducting workshops for individuals. Conducting workshops for groups of 5 to 25 participants has proved more productive and economical.
We generally conduct workshops during vacations and holidays and will be announcing the schedule through our website and mailing list.
