The 'Structures' workshop is for 5th and 6th class pupils and will run for three days from Monday to Wednesday on the week of 2 March 2020.
Participants will learn about structures, how they stay up and what keeps them together. After an initial demonstration about materials and forces, the pupils will be challenged to build certain structures using very simple materials. They are encouraged to consider a variety of materials, the strength of those materials and the forces that act on them.
