Unplugged Challenges
Unplugged challenges are designed to encourage creativity without the use of digital technology within the Makerspace.
These challenges may often include little take-home packs or items that can be created in the Makerspace during your visit.
This will involve crafting with hands-on materials such as: paper cardstock, tape, wool, string, cellophane, 3D printed resources and more.
