Mini Light Sculptures is a fun and accessible workshop that introduces participants to science and technology through creative thinking and hands-on making. Perfect for group sessions or drop-in formats, the workshop can be easily adapted to suit different themes, age groups, and abilities.
Participants build their own unique mini light sculpture by connecting LEDs and batteries using pipe cleaners and craft materials. Along the way, they explore basic electrical circuits, conductive materials, and insulators in a playful, memorable way.
The activity encourages curiosity and experimentation, aligning with curriculum goals around scientific enquiry and working scientifically. Learners are introduced to core electronics concepts, while also developing creative thinking, decision-making, and fine motor skills. The workshop supports STEAM learning by blending artistic expression with practical exploration of physical principles.
