About this Event
Join us for a hands-on, creative project where science, technology, engineering, arts and maths come together.
Working with artist Ann Fomukong-Boden and the team from Derbyshire Makes, children will design and build a moving energy machine from recycled and reclaimed materials.
Your machine will then be submitted to the Chesterfield grand finale.STEAM into ACTION connects young people with artists and makers to show that STEAM isn’t just a set of school subjects. It’s something you can do, shape and be part of.
