At the ÞYKJÓ shuttle workshop, we put ourselves in the shoes of aircraft designers and engineers. Which shape flies the farthest? What gives the shuttle its wings? Would you like to put windows on your shuttle?
The workshop takes place at Lindasafn, Núpalind 7. Admission is free and all are welcome.

ÞYKJÓ (pronounced thickyo) is the Icelandic noun for make-believe. ÞYKJÓ's design projects aim to stimulate the imagination and creativity of children during free play.
Through a careful selection of materials and forms, they take into consideration how the senses are stimulated through their designs, including motor development, sense of balance and sense of touch. ÞYKJÓ organizes versatile art workshops, installations and events in collaboration with museums and cultural institutions.
Behind ÞYKJÓ is a group of diverse designers who apply different fields of expertise in their collaborative work. Among ÞYKJÓ's designers are an architect, a fashion designer and bespoke tailor, a children's culture designer and a scenography designer. The team collaborates closely with artists, scientists, scholars within the field of pedagogy, and last but not least with children.
