Loo Roll Engineering Challenge

We’re challenging you to get creative with toilet rolls tubes! Show off your engineering prowess by building a structure using cardboard tubes (you can also use some paper and other cardboard too if you like) – it could be a bridge, a model building, miniature playground or any structure you can think of!

Post a photo of your loo roll construction with the hashtag #whizzpopbangloorollengineering and you could win 12 Whizz Pop Bang magazines, plus an awesome binder to put them all in!

The Awesomely Amazing Science Club

We set up this science club to make it super easy for volunteers to run weekly science clubs, but the experiments are ideally suited for use at home too.

Aimed at children aged 6 to 12, these activities aren't linked to the National Curriculum. Instead, the experiments are designed to capture children’s imagination and to spark a love of hands-on practical science, using simple household materials.
