SmartLIFE Master Class

 20 Students from schools within the Kent area, came to SmartLIFE to take part in a Young Apprentice course in March 2009, these students stayed with us for 2 days and took part in a range of activities including the construction of a timber frame house, a steel frame house and a concrete structure, with several going onto complete their CSCS card on the second day.

 These students were a lively group of 15/16 year olds, who enthusiastically took up the challenge of working within teams to ensure the construction process was completed.

 Some of the comments from the students

'I would like to make the stay longer - 1/2 weeks'

'I enjoyed building the timber frame house'

'I enjoyed learning to use the crane and putting the panels into place'
