About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Ever wondered what's really inside your old appliances?

Drop in anytime to see the Future Island-Island team take apart a washing machine and uncover the surprising potential of e-waste.

Wind turbine? Bug hotels? We’ll explore how mechanical and electrical engineering can breathe new life into discarded objects. Get hands-on, ask questions, and be inspired to see waste, not as rubbish, but as raw material for creativity, sustainability, and innovation.
