The Superposition

A problem solving assault course/ gameshow/ Pub Olympics rip off that teaches children and adults to think like designers, inventors and hackers.
The Maker Games comprises of a number of fast pace games and an assault-course that take advantage of the skill sets and interests of individuals who make up the teams. Each game has a simple premise, but the opportunity for complex problem solving. We invite teams of mixed ages, abilities and backgrounds to take part in prototyping extravaganzas the like of which have not been seen since the Wright Brothers proved everyone else wrong. Artists, makers and the technologically aware/ curious are invited to solve problems of flight, future energy solutions, devise intriguing solutions for difficult clients and move slinkies across flat surfaces.
Duration: 3 hours 
Aimed at: 8+
If Possible Please bring: A box of clean recycling  (no glass please)
The Maker games is a collaboration between artists/ educators Lawrence Molloy and Sophie Powell. Taking Industrial Heritage as inspiration and building upon our experience working with Scientists, Technologists and Educators the aim of The Maker Games is to create a humorous and surreal environment where games develop skills, confidence and self belief of individuals and groups. Thought doing this we hope to empower individuals and groups to create of new products, prototypes and solutions for problems they encounter every day.
 As places are limited, we please ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time of the workshop or let us know if you are running late.  If you have not registered for your workshop by the start time, we reserve the right to reallocate your place/s on a first come first served basis.
