A fun introduction to the Engineering Design Process for primary school students.
- Shipyard Challenge
Sink or float? Join our virtual shipyard as we design and build some amazing vessels from recycled materials! Experiment with buoyancy, streamlined shapes and mass as we create cargo ships and sailboats. - Bridge Builder Challenge
Calling all junior engineers! Explore the Engineering Design Process as we construct the ultimate bridges that can stretch across a river and hold as much weight as possible. Concepts include problem solving, mass, measurement and more.
PLANETARIUM SHOW
- Solar System Expedition
A must for Earth and Space units! Join our intergalactic flight assistant direct from our planetarium as we tour through our solar system and beyond. Visit the Sun, planets, Milky Way galaxy and more as we discover our place in Space.
LIVE SCIENCE SHOWS
