Imagine diving into a world of creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. In our highly acclaimed workshop, students are not just spectators, they are the architects of their own fairground ride adventure!

With K'Nex, students collaborate in groups of 3 to bring their thrill ride vision to life. Guided, young minds are empowered to unleash their imagination and engineering skills. But that's not all! The workshop goes beyond construction - it integrates essential computing and numeracy skills.
