# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With the older people in our lives cocooning to protect themselves and to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, it would be easy to think of them all as vulnerable and not able to do things for themselves. At Age & Opportunity we know that's not true. We are asking all kids, big and small, to tell us what an older person in your life CAN do! What do you think they will do when COVID-19 is gone and they come out of their cocoons like butterflies ready to fly again!

Is your Granny a great golfer? Does your neighbour have a lovely garden? Maybe your great aunty is an opera singer or your Grandad does Parkrun every weekend? Tell us about what your older person can do using any art form you like - here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

* a poem
* a drawing, painting, craft
* sewing, knitting, embroidery
* a dance
* a song
* a lego piece
* an animation/stopmotion
* doing a sport
* a cake buns etc.
* a short story
* pottery
* graphic design
* a play/musical
* make some clothes
* calligraphy
* a flower arrangement
* a photo/cut outs/collage
* photograph

How to enter

When you have finished your artwork, ask a parent or guardian to photograph it and send it to us, along with a consent form, to arts@ageandopportunity.ie. We will need your guardian to fill in a consent form which you will find here - Consent form for competition. You can fill in the word document consent form, save it and attach it to your email to send to us with the artwork.

Please note that if you are sending us a video you will need to send this by WeTransfer. Click here to use WeTransfer for free. Don't forget to upload your consent form to WeTransfer too.

The competition closes on Tuesday the 30th of June and we will contact the winners after that. We have some great prizes for you and your family to enjoy once we are all out and about again. There are five categories - pre-school, junior infants to second class, third class to sixth class, 1st year to 3rd year and TY to 6th year - so let us know what age and class your child is in when you send their entry.

Share your inspiration

We will share some of the entries on our social channels and our websites so keep your eyes peeled for your creation.

We're also asking you to send a photo of your child's creation to the older person they're inspired by! This is a great time to let the older people in our lives know how inspiring they are!

Design your own marble run.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After being inspired by a family STEM challenge evening at school, we're a bit obsessed with marble runs! I love that you can make them from recycled materials so there's no cost, they are great to build alone or as part of team and there are almost endless possibilities. We've kept these quite simple, but are working on some more complex versions.

If you like these, you might like our other easy engineering projects too.

What you'll need to build a recycled marble run

Tape - we use masking tape, but anything will work.

Cardboard tubes - kitchen roll, toilet roll etc all work well.

Other bits of recycled packaging - boxes, bottles etc - optional

Egg cartons - optional

Large box or sheet of card to build it against

Marble or table tennis ball

Scissors

Build it!

The best thing about building this STEM Project is that you can be as creative as you like.

If you don't have a big box to build it inside, we've also built them by attaching tubes to a wall, just make sure you ask a parent first and use masking tape so it doesn't rip the paint off!

Space Homemade Marble Run

This one is taken from my book This is Rocket Science and is used to demonstrate gravity!

Reusable Marble Run

I made this one for a school science fair several years ago. The velcro strips mean the pipes and tubes can be moved around.

Homemade Marble Run in a Box

If you have an empty box hanging around our box version was super easy to put together.

You'll notice we added a tube going upwards at the end.

Recycled Marble Run on a Wall

Remember to only build this one if you've asked a parent and are using masking tape!

More Ideas

Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls has an awesome craft stick marble run.

If you'd rather a shop bought marble run, we love our Quadrilla Marble Run.

Top Tips

Cut tubes in half so you have twice as many.

Use yoghurt pots, small boxes or a paper cup to catch the marble in at the end.

Make it a challenge

Can you get the ball to go up instead of down?

Challenge a friend to see who can make the fastest or slowest version.

Slow the marble down by adding some friction, this could be velcro or rough paper attached to the inside of a tube.

Try the marble run challenge on the James Dyson website. There's a fantastic video talking about the engineering behind marble runs to watch too.
