About this Event

From the products we use every day to the technology emerging as our cities get smarter, engineering is all around us. Engineers design, test and refine solutions to real-life problems.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how engineering brings science to life. Using programmable electronics and sensors, they will investigate the world around them and discover how data can be used to design practical solutions.

Participants will then use their creativity to design and prototype their own product for the future, as part of a Smart City built by the whole group, gaining an insight into how engineers turn ideas into innovations that shape the world.

For children who have just completed Years 7, 8 and 9 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 11–14 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
