Build a Boat workshop for creative children and adults
When:
The workshop is open from May until October
Price:
The activity is free of charge when an admission ticket to the museum is paid.
Follow the boat builders' art! In the ‘Build Boat’ workshop, creative children and adults can test their boat building skills.
The Build a Boat workshop is located at the yard, so you can be inspired by the boat builders, while you design and build your own boat.
Through fun and games, the children learn what works when you have to design a boat so that it becomes a good sailor and does not capsize.
Get tips and tricks - and learn something new
The museum's communicators help with tips and tricks, and by devising, trying and testing, the children get not only seaworthy ships, but also experience in the museum's way of working, where they experiment to new knowledge.
There is also a water basin - a 'test tank' - so you can try out your boat design and perhaps return to the construction process to refine the design.
Model boats created by the imagination
The workshop invites you to play and experiment at the same time as you learn about ship construction and boat building.
The build-your-own boats are built from wood scraps, paper, string, etc., and in the workshop there is tips, tricks, ideas and inspiration for how you can best construct a boat, so that everyone - from approx. 8 years and up - can easily get started designing and building a seaworthy vessel.
