Using recycled materials, they built the structure collaboratively, assigning roles and solving problems. They tested the stability of each level, checking whether it could hold toy cars and withstand movement from little hands. After identifying weak points, they reinforced the design, experimenting with supports and different joining techniques.<\/p>\n<p>A creative, functional, multi\u2011storey car park that their nursery buddies can enjoy\u2014built entirely through child\u2011led learning, teamwork and STEM thinking.
