We went along to The Making Place to experience one of their highly enjoyable Family Days.
All children love to make things.
Give them a cardboard box, a length of string, sellotape and some wonderful creation will emerge. The Making Place, North Kensington's unique education centre, uses this natural enthusiasm to create, as the basis of its innovative approach to the teaching of science and technology. Its hands-on projects guarantee a high level of involvement from all the children who visit, regardless of their educational background. Since it opened less than five years ago, thousands have passed through the doors of the Making Place to take part in a whole range of different projects. As a result of its growing reputation for innovative and effective teaching, schools now travel to use its facilities from all over London and the South of England.
