A fun, hands-on workshop that empowers young people to think like scientists, engineers, and inventors to reduce waste

We are so excited to be welcoming the Science Owl to The Greener and Cleaner Hub during Half Term.

The Broken Umbrella Challenge is a fun, hands-on workshop that empowers young people to think like scientists, engineers, and inventors to reduce waste.

Using broken toys and household items as their materials, children are challenged to design imaginative new inventions, helping them see the future value in things we usually throw away.

Along the way, we explore sustainability, circular design, and how everyday products (like plastic toys) are made.

It’s a playful, positive way to tackle the issue of waste and inspire creative, solution-focused climate thinking.
