Crash test cars

Get ready for a creative and thrilling workshop where kids will design and build their very own crash-proof cars!

Using materials like tape, cardboard, pipe cleaners, and straws, children will engineer vehicles designed to protect their precious "egg-upants" (occupants) from a major crash. In this hands-on session, kids will unleash their creativity by decorating their cars and putting their engineering skills to the test. The goal is to keep their egg safe from catastrophe while learning about the principles of design, physics, and safety.

This workshop promises to be an engaging and educational experience, filled with fun and innovation.
