About
In true Tyneside fashion, it's a shipbuilding challenge. Get your heads together, devise and create your very own ship in this family construction event.
As a family or a group you'll experiment to see which materials and shapes will float the best, before designing and building your own ship.
You'll get to test your design in the ship tank to see how much cargo it can hold before it sinks.
