Poplar Union Workshop
🍢🍬 Sweet Constructions 🍡🌈


Join us at Poplar Union for a hands-on workshop where children and parents will collaborate to design and build structures using sweets and toothpicks!

Through this playful engineering challenge, young designers will explore fundamental concepts of structural stability, balance, and creative problem-solving while having fun.

What to expect

Our expert facilitators will guide children and parents through the process of creating modular building components and joining them to form impressive structures. We'll start with simple techniques and gradually work toward more complex constructions, with plenty of room for creativity and experimentation.

You'll see demonstration models and receive tips on how to make your structures stronger, taller, and more interesting!

All materials will be provided by DesignBloom.
