Overview
Step into the vibrant world of 5park — a dynamic STEM experience brought to life by Amazelab through immersive, hands-on workshop days. Designed to spark imagination and ambition, each workshop uses a themed 5park Box — Eco City, Water, Transport, Space, Maritime — to explore real-world STEM challenges in creative and accessible ways.
From designing eco-friendly transport and building space rovers to investigating the science of water, students engage in activities that blend science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths (STEAM). The boxes contain simple materials and open-ended prompts that encourage invention, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Amazelab’s facilitators guide the experience with energy and expertise, while industry volunteers share their career journeys to help students connect classroom learning with future possibilities. Accessibility is central: workshops are inclusive, adaptable, and designed to engage all learners regardless of background or ability.
Whether your students are budding engineers, curious explorers, or creative thinkers, 5park Workshop Days offer a unique opportunity to learn, create, and be inspired.
