A tunnel is simply a hollow tube cut through soil or rock, but there is nothing simple about the construction of a man-made tunnel. In this challenge, junior engineers will receive a design brief, then need to build a tunnel out of recycled material.

Recommended for ages 5+, adult supervision encouraged.

This is a drop in session, please feel free to just turn up during this time.

  • January 7, 10.30am – 12pm
  • January 13, 11.30am – 1pm
  • January 21, 11.30 – 1pm
