Eurekus Presents: Toy Shop (Ages 7-8)

Become an inspired inventor at our play-based workshop! Science and engineering inspire exciting exploration and empowered creativity. Through a series of fun design challenges, campers imagine and build their own toys, games and gadgets. They will also explore mechanical engineering and technology to enliven their creative ideas. Wonder, tinker-time, collaboration, and play will fuel exciting student-led inventions ~ racer challenges, giant bubble wands, kaleidoscopes, fidget spinners, marble mazes, marionettes and mechanical puppets. Sack lunch option available for purchase at check-out.
