Highlights from Basic Engineering Techniques with Kim Brice

It started with an egg and materials found round the home

Would their egg survive dropping from a height and land without cracking?
There would be some prospective engineers I would climb into any aircraft they built, but some I am afraid I would think twice about, after seeing some splatter lol.
Kim's workshops never ceased to amaze me how all the children were engaged and on task. That is a great skill. 







Engineers need to test their design

Did the egg land safely ???





Yikes was privileged to host three workshops tutored by Kim Brice. The kids were engaged and learnt valuable skills and were able to enjoy the journey of design and engineering. Kim is a local designer and business owner ~ click here to learn more about Kim and his business.
