Getting started

NEMO’s Maker Space invites you to try your hand at tinkering. Explore the possibilities by experimenting with different materials and ideas... Thinking with your hands and learning by doing. As you create, you’ll uncover new concepts and clever solutions. These activities are ready for you to explore today:

  • Design a glider

    How exactly does a helicopter fly? And how do seeds travel through the air? Shapes behave in different ways in the wind. Make your own paper glider and test it in the wind tunnel. Can you make your glider fly faster or slower? Or make it glide smoothly in the centre of the tunnel?

  • Guess the device

    Every day you use all kinds of devices – your alarm clock, your phone, the toaster, and more. Disassembled and deconstructed – would you still recognise everyday appliances? Test your knowledge in a quiz where you show each other different parts, and try to guess the device!
