There are many ways to measure strength, and you might be surprised to learn the strongest animal isn’t always the largest! In this half day STEM workshop, explore the characteristics of strong materials and how clever engineering can make difficult tasks easier.

During the workshop, participants see one of Scienceworks’ most entertaining science shows, chat with an expert scientist and take part in a classic STEM challenge - the egg drop! Learn all about the science that can help make eggs (and us) strong enough to withstand tough challenges, and then test your skills by designing and building a structure of your own. Will your egg handle the drop? Come and find out!
