Ravensburger’s GraviTrax brand got the ball rolling at Chris Evans’ CarFest event at the weekend with the help of award-winning science presenter Greg Foot, host of BBC Radio Four’s ‘Sliced Bread’ podcast and radio show.
Exclusive sponsors of the inaugural STEM Zone at the festival, GraviTrax presented a marble-run creative play zone and regular ‘Build Beyond the Usual Academy’ sessions led by broadcaster Greg.
“It was a real joy to see so many families inspired by the GraviTrax system. Our tent drew the crowds throughout the event, with packed play tables full of incredible and creative marble runs,” said Elaine Connell, Ravensburger product marketing manager. “With his expertise in celebrating STEM learning in a truly engaging way, Greg was the ideal host for our sessions. I know our guests will have taken away some great memories of their GraviTrax experience.”
“I loved building marble runs as a kid, and GraviTrax takes that creativity and excitement to another level. It was just so wonderful this weekend to see how engaged children (and adults) get with GraviTrax. You can almost see their brains whirring as they solve problems and come up with brilliant tracks,” commented Greg. “I love that, with its open-ended design, GraviTrax encourages creative play. It’s packed full of STEM learning and is a fantastic platform for children to let their imaginations go wild.”
Around 100,00 people attended the three-day family fundraising festival in Hampshire, which has raised over £25milion for charity since its launch in 2012.
