Free drop-in half-term session for primary school children and families to meet AtkinsRéalis engineers, build a wind turbine and make a mini boat.
AtkinsRéalis engineers are taking over Urban HQ on Friday 30 October for a free half-term session for primary school children and their families. It's part of Urban HQ's free half-term programme, and it's a drop-in, so you can turn up whenever suits you between 10am and 12pm rather than having to be there right at the start. Young people need to be accompanied, though, so it's one for the adults to bring along.
Alongside meeting the engineers, there's plenty to get stuck into. You can build a wind turbine, make a mini boat and see if it floats, or play a construction-themed version of snakes and ladders. The engineers are there to answer whatever questions come up, so if your kids have a million 'how does this work?' moments, this is a good place to let them run wild with them.
It's held in The School Room at Urban HQ, 37 Orchard Street, Swansea SA1 5AJ. The café is open for drinks, food and snacks, which is handy if you're planning to stay for a while. For getting there, the council-run Orchard Street Car Park is nearby, there's bike parking at Urban HQ, and disabled parking is on Alexandra Road.
