In this hands-on session, kids will become mini engineers, constructing their own working cranes from simple materials like cardboard, string, straws, and popsicle sticks. They’ll learn the principles of reinforcement, ensuring their cranes can lift heavier loads without tipping over. By adding counterweights, children will explore the concepts of balance and stability, all while fostering their creativity and problem-solving skills. Perfect for budding builders and curious minds, this workshop promises a fun and educational experience that highlights the magic of engineering!
