Make and Launch Your Own Parachute 2025 is a hands-on workshop taking place at the Sci‑Ed Science Education Centre in the Winkie Direko Building on 15 July 2025 at 10:00 AM. Hosted during the Science Festival, this fun-filled event invites learners to explore real-world applications of science and engineering.
In this interactive Make‑and‑Take parachute workshop, young participants will design, build, and test their own working parachutes. With simple materials and step-by-step guidance, the workshop blends creativity with physics in a safe and supportive setting.
The highlight of the day is the exciting Parachute Launch Challenge, where attendees test their parachutes in a friendly competition. It’s an engaging way for youth to understand motion, air resistance, and basic engineering concepts through direct experimentation.
This Sci‑Ed youth workshop is part of the larger Science Festival experience, promoting practical science learning outside of the classroom. Perfect for students, families, and educators, it offers a rewarding mix of fun, learning, and take-home creations.
