Build, design and bring your ideas to life
The Make It Zone is all about creating, testing and experimenting with your own ideas. Step inside and discover how science, engineering and imagination come together through hands-on making.
Try creative challenges that turn thinking into doing
The Make It Zone gives visitors the chance to build, design and experiment through practical, hands-on activities. Visitors can explore exhibits and challenges linked to construction, movement, sound, technology and creative problem-solving. Activities may include building giant archways, experimenting with circuits, creating sound loops with instruments, exploring stop motion animation and seeing how pneumatic systems can move objects. It is a great zone for visitors who like making things, solving problems and seeing what happens when an idea becomes something they can test.
Perfect for builders, makers and curious problem-solvers
Make It is well suited to visitors who enjoy creating, constructing, experimenting and working out how things fit together. It works well for:
Families who enjoy building and making together
Children who like practical, hands-on challenges
Older children interested in engineering, design or technology
Schools and groups exploring STEM through creative problem-solving
Visitors who prefer active learning over sitting still
STEM learning you can build with your hands
Making is a powerful way to explore science, technology, engineering and maths through trial, error and discovery. For schools and organised groups, the Make It Zone can support learning around engineering, design, structures, forces, circuits, animation, sound and creative problem-solving.
Bring an idea. Build it. Test it. Try again.
Plan your visit and explore a zone where science is something you can make, move and experiment with.
