Creative Science & Art Construction Workshops
We believe science and art go hand in hand. In these workshops, kids build projects like solar system models and working flutes, blending creativity with scientific principles.
Our little astronomers proudly display the solar system models they built and painted. This project is a great way to learn about the planets.
A classroom full of students painting the planets for their solar system models. It's a colorful and educational activity that brings astronomy to life.
An instructor helps students arrange their completed solar system models. Each child learns the order of the planets as they build.
Our summer camp often includes parent-child activities. Here, families work together on painting projects like solar system models and birdhouses.
This video from our May summer camp shows the fun of building and painting both solar system and airplane models.
A montage of our "little engineers" building various projects, including a girl proudly holding her completed solar system model.
This proud student shows off two of his creations: a painted fighter jet and a complete solar system model.
About this collection
These projects are about more than just gluing parts together. When we build something like a PVC pipe flute or a motorized solar system, children are actually engaging with principles of acoustics, structural balance, and basic circuitry. Everything your child builds during these 3-hour sessions goes home with them, meaning they leave the lab not just with a project, but with the confidence that they can create something functional from scratch.
At our Vidyaranyapura lab, we don't believe in 'crafts' that just sit on a shelf. We want kids to understand the science behind what they create. When a child constructs a flute, they aren't just decorating a tube; they are measuring sound waves and testing frequency to produce a note. Similarly, assembling a solar system model helps them grasp orbital mechanics and spatial scale in a way that textbooks simply cannot match.
How It Works
- Hands-On Tools: Whether it is sanding wood for a base or painting specific planetary details, kids get used to the feel of real materials.
- Problem Solving: If a flute doesn't produce sound or a planet model is off-balance, we guide them to 'debug' their own work rather than fixing it for them.
- Take-Home Value: Every child completes their project in the session and takes it home, ensuring they have a physical reminder of what they learned.
Who Should Join?
These sessions are designed for curious minds aged 4 to 14. We keep our batches small, typically between 6 to 12 kids, to ensure every child has enough space and supervision to use tools safely. If your child likes to disassemble toys to see how they work, or if they are always looking for new materials to build with, they will fit right in with our creative construction community.
Little Wings Innovation Labs
I’m Rahul, and along with Daniel, I started this space because I was that kid who had to break things just to see how they worked. We don’t run a classroom; we run a maker space where your child gets to use real tools and build real projects. Come by our lab in BEL Layout and see what we're building this weekend.
