What we'll do
Get Hands-On with Real Engineering Challenges. Join us in a fun, inclusive environment where you can explore engineering at your own pace. Each session features a brand-new activity, so there’s always something exciting to build and learn. No experience needed — just curiosity! You can book a morning session, an afternoon session, or both—and enjoy a full day of hands-on, creative exploration! Wednesday 23rd July 2025 - Explore the Exciting World of Robotics! Discover how robots work — from Zippy, the world’s smallest robot at just 2.5 inches, to Optimus Prime, towering at 6 metres tall. 10 AM-12 Noon : Learn How Real Robots Work: Robot arms are becoming increasingly common in industries and everyday life. In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore how they function—and get to develop and build your very own moving robot arm! 12.30 PM-2.30 PM : Build Your Own Mini Production Line From food factories to Amazon warehouses, conveyor belt systems play a key role in efficient material handling and transport. In this hands-on activity, you'll design and build a working conveyor belt to move products along. Monday 18th August 2025- Bridges and Towers Learn about structural engineering by exploring the evolution of tall buildings and their structures. 10 AM-12 Noon : Bridge Building: Can you build a bridge that can support 1, 2, or 3 kilograms of weight? Test your design and see how much load it can bear before collapsing. 12.30 PM-2.30 PM : Design Your Own Skyscraper: Use your creativity to design and build a towering structure—can you make one taller than yourself?

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
