Engineering Arcadia
Come in with curiosity. Leave having built something.
A place to play with engineering
Engineering Arcadia is a planned interactive engineering experience centre. Picture it as three places in one.
- The excitement of a gaming centre
- The creativity of a makerspace
- The experimentation of an engineering lab
