What is an engineer? How do you build a bridge? Why do we have bridges?
These are the kind of questions we delve into in our most popular workshop. In this session you’ll become engineers of your own bridge building challenge. You’ll learn the different types of bridges and their usage. You will then work in small teams to design and build a bridge working to a budget and time limit. These bridges will then be judged on strength, cost and style – who will win the challenge?

Booking is essential.
