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! Tuesday 29th July 2025 - Making Energy Discover the amazing ways we can generate energy using everyday items. From fruit-powered batteries to water-splitting experiments, learn how simple materials can demonstrate powerful science. 10 AM-12 Noon Powering Potatoes & other experiments: Create a working battery using potatoes and lemons, and light up an LED. Hydrogen is a promising clean fuel for the future—explore how electricity can be used to split water and produce hydrogen. 12.30 PM-2.30 PM Mini Wind Turbines: Wind power is one of the cheapest and cleanest ways to produce electricity. A single wind turbine can power up to 1,500 households, typically lasts 20–30 years, and approximately 90% of its parts can be recycled. Build your own working wind turbine using simple craft materials and discover how wind energy can generate electricity. Tuesday 19th 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.
