A summary
STEM Engineering Workshop – Lab Rascals ⚡April 11th Build your own LEGO wind turbine and discover how renewable energy works! Join us at Young People Count in Pocklington for a hands-on STEM day with Lab Rascals, where young people will explore renewable energy by designing, building and testing their own LEGO wind turbines. This fun and interactive workshop brings science to life, showing how wind power can generate electricity before using that energy to charge a battery and power a LEGO car. It’s a brilliant chance to get creative, solve problems, try out engineering ideas and learn more about green technology in a way that feels practical and exciting. Whether young people already love STEM or just want to try something new, the session is designed to be engaging, supportive and enjoyable for all. Hot pasta bar, salad, snacks and drinks included
