In this hands-on workshop, children become safety engineers and designers! Young engineers will design and build a car from a range of materials to protect the passenger from... an egg! After building, it’s time to see who will crack first. Kids will put their creations to the ultimate test to see who has designed the safest car.

Through hands-on play, they’ll explore real-world science concepts like aerodynamics, force, and motion, all while having a blast watching their F1 inspired rocket cars zoom across the track.

The ideal activity to keep your little ones entertained this October Half Term at Haynes Motor Museum.
