Magnet Mania: Little Engineers invites participants to use magnetic tiles for designing, building, and testing mechanical-style structures and working systems. Attendees will think like engineers as they explore connections, balance, and movement, creating wheels, towers, and bridges with no fixed rules. Participants will decide what to build and how it works, encouraging creativity and problem-solving through play. This relaxed session is suitable for all ages, from younger children to adults.
Details
Use magnetic tiles to design, build, and test your own mechanical-style structures and working systems.
