Fantastic Fliers

Fantastic Fliers flies children through flight and aerodynamics basics. Together we discover the four forces that affect flight. Children make & test various flight designs including a Rotor Kite that twists & an unlikely-shaped aircraft that shoots through the sky. Finally we build the Delta Dart Plane and fling it forward adjusting the elevators and a rudder to make it turn, spin and loop.

Science of Toys

This fun-filled workshop is an interactive introduction to the Science of Toys. Children will ponder and test the inner workings of their favourite toys while discovering the science behind each of them. An investigation into potential and kinetic energy will allow your children to understand how toys move. They will then use what they learned to create their personal ball-catch game.
