The workshop
Design one-of-a-kind creatures or mobs with names, powers, and personality — no templates, all imagination.
Turn a table into a team world with hand-built scenery, habitats, and details that bring the creatures to life.
Fun design challenges keep the momentum going and give every builder a chance to shine.
The workshop wraps with a friendly, engineering-inspired showdown using soft Power Orbs.
The finale
The workshop ends with a safe and exciting showdown. Children take turns rolling Power Orbs down a secured, low tabletop ramp toward designated target zones on the opposing team’s build. Teams earn points for design, teamwork, creativity, and positive sportsmanship.
The Battle of the Builds is cooperative, friendly, and engineering-inspired — it’s about creativity and encouragement, never aggressive competition.
Power Orbs are large, lightweight, soft felt balls.
Children roll Power Orbs down a fixed, low tabletop ramp.
No throwing and no launching Power Orbs by hand.
Children stay behind a clearly marked rolling line during turns.
Orbs are aimed only at designated target zones on the opposing team’s build — never at people.
A trained adult facilitator supervises the activity at all times.
