A free, hands-on engineering challenge for ages 7 and over where teams design, build and test solutions with limited materials.
Engineer It! The One-Hour Design Challenge is at the National Waterfront Museum on Friday 30 October, starting at 11.30am. It's a fast-paced, hands-on session where you put your engineering skills to the test in a race against the clock.
The format is straightforward: you work in small teams and get a specific problem to solve. You're given a limited set of materials and a set amount of time to design, build and test your solution. The whole thing is built around creativity, problem-solving and teamwork, with a bit of friendly competition between the teams as you see whose design actually holds up. It's less about having a background in engineering and more about thinking on your feet and figuring things out as you go.
Because you're working in teams, it's a good one to bring a friend or a few family members along. The session is suitable for ages 7 and over, so it works as a family outing or something to do with a group of kids. If you've got a knack for building things or just enjoy a bit of a challenge, this is exactly the kind of thing you'll get stuck into.
