Innovate stage 1

Here's a taste of the activities you can look forward to trying at this stage. Ask your leader about all the things you'll need to do to earn this badge.

Exciting experiments - Science is everywhere – in your kitchen cupboards, in the bath, and even in your birthday cake! 

Clap, tap, pat - You don’t need a drum to make a musical rhythm. Use your body to make all sorts of claps, taps, pats and much more…

Puppet pals - Become a toymaker! Design a puppet, then bring it to life by giving it real moving parts.

Slippery slopes - Become the fastest slider at the park. Explore materials to see which are super slippery and which are super sticky.

Go gobots!  - Have a go at controlling a gobot. But you’ll need to think hard to make sure your gobot doesn’t go the wrong way…
