Sweet Structures: Taster workshop
Join us for a hands-on art with tech skills workshop by DesignBloom. Where children and parents will collaborate to design and build structures using sweets and toothpicks!
Through this playful engineering challenge, young designers will explore fundamental concepts of structural stability, balance, and creative problem-solving while having fun.
Children (Years 1–6) and their parents will work together to build towers, bridges and structures using sweets and toothpicks, exploring engineering principles through creative play.

What to expect
Our expert facilitators will guide children and parents through the process of creating modular building components and joining them to form impressive structures. We’ll start with simple techniques and gradually work toward more complex constructions, with plenty of room for creativity and experimentation.
You’ll see demonstration models and receive tips on how to make your structures stronger, taller, and more interesting!
All materials will be provided by DesignBloom.
This workshop aims to engage children in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Maths) by combining art with tech skills.
