Good morning.
Well, the good weather hasn't returned yet!
Some fun engineering challenges today that can be done indoors.
Balloon Car Race
Make and race a balloon-powered car using just a balloon, a plastic cup, straws, thread and rubber bands.
Watch the video to see Dyson engineers supersizing their balloon cars to see if they can win the race.
Spaghetti Bridges
Can you build a spaghetti bridge that's strong enough to hold a bag of sugar?
Watch the video to see Dyson engineers attempt the challenge with their spaghetti replica of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Cardboard Chair
This challenge focuses on the principles of design and structure. Can you design and build a chair from cardboard, that’s strong enough to support your weight?
Watch the video to find out more and see how Dyson engineers took on the challenge.
