School Holiday Program - A Little Jar of Science: LEGO® Mini-Fig Terrariums for Teens (13-17 year olds)

To celebrate Relics: A New World Rises, join Helen and Thomas from Helen’s Mini Worlds to create a living world for your very own LEGO® mini-fig in this hands on workshop designed specifically for teens.

In this one-hour workshop you will get your hands dirty creating a tiny living terrarium world in a 250ml jar. Along the way Helen, who has a science degree and a passion for nature, will guide you through the science of ecosystems. You will not only take home your very own terrarium world (complete with LEGO® mini-fig inhabitant), but also all the information you need to care for it and a wealth of new knowledge about the natural world.

This is the perfect mix of science and creativity!

What to bring:

All materials are provided, you may wish to bring a bag or box to safely transport your completed terrarium.
