The aim of this workshop is to create a series of structures, constructions, and objects which, when triggered, release their stored energy causing a chain reaction.

Using balloons, springs, ping pong balls, hinges, mousetraps and more, can you build a mechanism that keeps the momentum of the chain reaction going?

Perfect for ages 7+ and a great experience for the whole family.
