Broken Umbrella Challenge – Invent with waste!
Nunhead Library Gordon Road London SE15 3RW
About this Event
What can a broken toy become?
Join us at Nunhead Library during London Climate Action Week for our BBC-featured Broken Umbrella Challenge workshop. We’ll be taking apart broken toys and unwanted objects, looking at what’s inside, and using the pieces to invent something new. Along the way, we’ll be thinking like creative climate problem solvers, exploring waste, reuse and eco-innovation in a hands-on, playful way.
It’s all part of our mission to help reduce the 28 million toys thrown away every year in the UK.
Aimed at ages 5+.
See you there!
