Best Bits

The Mega Maker Lab is London’s biggest and best experience dedicated to the imagination, open for the whole of August. Join the opening weekend and get hands-on with a 12,000 square foot making and invention experience, imagined by 100 young Londoners in collaboration with the Institute of Imagination and architectural educators MATT+FIONA. 

Across five creative experience zones, families can tinker, experiment, build, play and enjoy time together. Most exciting of all, the ideas have come from young minds, the Imagination Architects, who they've worked with to imagine and build the Mega Maker Lab.

Explore creative zones where you can:

  • Imagine and play zone: unleash imaginations as a family with collaborative building activities and challenges including LEGO, giant marble runs and Stixx machines.
  • Ideas zone: get inspired by other young inventors and design and invent ideas to change the world.
  • Challenge zone: take on BIG challenges like making a bot with motors and batteries, creating with wire to add to Super Sky City and pedal-powered plastic shredding.
  • Tool bar: try out tools like glue guns, drills and LEDs in a safe space to bring ideas and inventions to life.
  • Test arena: make something fly or move with tools and up-cycled materials in a maker space and test creations out with wind machines, ramps, flight spaces and more to discover the art of prototyping through junk modelling.

Plus get tips from experts and share your ideas in a pop-up open arena with performances and showcases. Every visit can be something different, as it’s all about building, making, inventing and playing.
