About this Event

Cardboard Builders Lab

Join us at Explorer Junior Ubi (20 or 24 June) for a hands-on experience designed for curious minds ages 7–12 who love to tinker, design, and create.

In this mission-based workshop, children engineer three fully playable arcade games from cardboard, exploring real-world physics and mechanical principles through the process of prototyping something that works.

PROJECT 1: BASKETBALL LAUNCHER (9:30-11.15am)

Your child builds a miniature basketball court with catapults, test angles, and launch pompoms using elastic energy.

PROJECT 2: TABLETOP FOOTBALL (11:15am-12:45pm)

Build a 2-player football pitch where players score goals, and discover friction in competitive play!

PROJECT 3: PINBALL MACHINE (1:15-3:15pm)

The grand finale where children will engineer flippers and ramps, then combine all their skills into one!
