Inspired Minds organise fun, educational events and workshops that spark children’s imaginations by building robots, learning to program and much more. Education is so much more than textbooks!

An interactive experience like never seen before, guests will have their own heads created as chocolate lollipops!

In the short space of a few minutes, Candy Mechanics will create a 3D scan of your head and then carve it in chocolate right in-front of your eyes. You’ll never look at a sweet treat in the same way again!

This edible gift is the prize for the first 30 participants who complete the AR Treasure Hunt each hour during the event.
