Park Science - Marvellous Machines (morning)
Monday 9 January from 10am to 11am Monday 16 January from 10am to 11am Monday 23 January from 10am to 11am
Inspire your inner engineer on our zany Marvellous Machines day in the park!
Learn about simple machines such as screws, wedges, levers, and pulleys using natural materials and by playing games. Working in teams, you will design and build a pulley system that will be able to lift objects from the ground using a pulley system of your own design.
This engaging STEAM challenge presents an opportunity for participants to learn the engineering design process and build their own Marvellous Machine. Participants learn how to work in a team, brainstorm, plan, design a blueprint and ultimately – build a machine!
For children aged 5-12 years. This is a drop-off program. Parents do not attend with children.
