For the last few years Jacob Strickling has been setting up and running a carnival for his church's start of year mission event, unfortunately the amount of effort was in the extreme and so this year he invented and built all new equipment.
The Carnival Activity Boards can all be stacked in his enclosed trailer and fit into each other. They are quick to set up, fun to use and quick to pack up.
Each activity has a Science twist (Strickling is a Science Teacher after all) and includes activities such as a fidget spinner board where kids use compressed air to spin them, a skill tester where you fly a helicopter along the mountains to rescue the red teddy bear, a bottle flipping board, floating balls shooting gallery, the crowd favourite 'dunking chairs' , a slot car set where kids have to generate electricity for the cars to run, a pump up the balloons board and a water play activity board. There were also parachute cannons and ball cannons. Although it was a massive effort to build it all, strickling has saved a lot of work for himself with setup, transport and pack up.
Strickling has. Is been approached by schools, childcare centres and a theatre to setup and run the activities. Being a full time teacher and Part time YouTuber 'Make Science Fun' he's not too sure where he'll find the time!
Strickling lives in Terrigal, New South Wales Australia.
