Hands-on creative workshop exploring shapes, geometry and physical tricks.
About this Event

Bring your craft skills and creative mind as we explore strange shapes, crazy creations and find a way to shove a large object though a small hole!
This workshop takes a fresh perspective on the physical world, takes a look at unique challenges and reveals some surprising results.

Participants will look at alternatives to plain old circular wheels and how a smooth journey doesn’t depend on having a flat road.

They will use their folding, cutting and building skills to create their own shapes and take home some showstopping tricks for the whole family to try.

We’ll also find out how popular music groups have used the spatial elements and physical principles in creative ways to bring a special ingredient to their performances that will ignite the imagination!
‘Measuring the Earth’ includes visualisation, creativity, geometry and physical intuition through engaging problems and inspiring demonstrations.

This workshop is strictly for 9 - 11 year-olds.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
