The students at St Francis Xavier Catholic Primary School built their own Frankston Hospital redevelopment during a visit from SciencePlay Kids and the redevelopment team.

In the session, students from all year levels used cardboard engineering to explore the concepts of planning, designing, prototyping and testing.
