Welcome to Beyond The Beanstalk's Dye Hard Workshop


Where Colour, Chemistry, and Competition Collide!


Get ready for a workshop that combines creativity, science, and active play! Beyond the Beanstalk's Supercharged Dye Hard workshop, designed for school-aged children, merges the excitement of tie-dye art with the energy of team-based games, all while introducing key STEM concepts in a fun, hands-on way.



In this dynamic and interactive session, students will delve into the fascinating science of colour and dye creation. Through exciting hands-on activities, they'll get the chance to design their own vibrant tie-dye ponchos, while participating in a fast-paced team game that adds an extra layer of fun and strategy. The energetic gameplay encourages teamwork and quick thinking, while the creative element allows each student to walk away with their own custom masterpiece.


STEM Focus: Throughout the workshop, students will engage with the basic chemistry of dyeing fabrics. They'll learn how different dyes interact with materials, exploring absorption and colour mixing, while also understanding how tie-dye patterns form through physical manipulation and chemical reactions. The hands-on nature of the activity fosters problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, making it a well-rounded STEM experience.


At the end of the session, students will have time to add finishing touches to their shirts, customising their designs before untying and allowing them to dry. By incorporating elements of art, science, and teamwork, this workshop delivers both physical and intellectual engagement.


Perfect for school-aged children, Supercharged Dye Hard provides an exciting blend of active play and STEM learning, encouraging collaboration, creativity, and scientific exploration!
