These clubs are held by our very own H-FARM International School teachers for their students.
They are taking place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for free. Two of these clubs, culminating in international robotics competitions, include the payments of a small fee to cover travel expenses.
The range of activities varies each trimester, so as to constantly spurring students' growth and development.
