The free Kent Children’s University Summer Challenge for families is now live

Consisting of 24 activities that children and families can work on together at either no, or low, cost. Children can choose to do as many or as few activities as they want, and they do not have to be part of Kent Children’s University to get involved.

Complete 1 or all 24 of the activities and in any order. Completing all 24 activities is the challenge. These activities can be completed just for fun or to earn Learning Credits with Kent Children's University. Your families can find support materials on the KCU website so do share the information with them before the end of term.

If children are part of Kent Children’s University, either through your school, or subscribing directly through the Family Membership model, then a certain number of Learning Credits can be earned for each activity completed. One hour of Children’s University learning equals one Learning Credit.

The Learning Credits earned can then be used to count towards a national Children’s University award, and if they have achieved sufficient Credits they will be invited to graduate at a ceremony at one of the Kent-based universities.

Please visit the Kent Children's University website more information about the Challenge or how to get involved with the scheme in the new academic year.

Note:

The Children's University Trust is a national organisation which offers 5-14 year olds exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside normal school hours. The activities can take the form of a one-off workshop, Children’s University fun lectures with well-known and inspirational people, trips to libraries and museums, arts and crafts activities, sports coaching as well as extracurricular activities within schools.
