About Edinburgh Science Festival: Boat Building
Age 5+
Learn some boat building techniques and discover how huge ships were constructed hundreds of years ago. Find out about the equipment early research vessels such as HMS Challenger had on board, how they were used and what they discovered about the deep ocean. Put your newly learned skills to the test as you build your own boat out of natural materials, consider what it would research, and launch it on the pond in Holyrood Park to see if it remains afloat!
This workshop is part of Dynamic Earth’s Discover the Deep project that has received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players.
