Can you believe that it’s possible to build a working refractor telescope at home using mainly sustainable, high-quality cardboard parts? The Build Your Own Telescope kit from Build Your Own makes it simple!
Inspire and engage young imaginations with this Build Your Own refractor telescope kit. Including pre-cut parts, real glass optic lenses, a mirror, detail instructions and more, this kit has everything needed to make a fully-functioning, durable telescope. Use it in daylight or at night to explore our world in detail!
Press out the pre-cut pieces, then slot them together (no glue needed!) to make a telescope with 16x magnification. This kit has been designed in the UK to excite and inspire young scientists. It’s the perfect minimal plastic, sustainable project to fill long evenings and wet weekends!
We’ve got a Build Your Own Telescope kit to give away to a lucky Whizz Pop Bang fan! To be in with a chance of winning, simply answer this question in the comments:

Thank you, Whizz Pop Bang, for a wonderful Science magazine.
My sister and I look forward to it every month and daddy helps us with the activities. My sister wants to be a vet so she can’t wait to read this month’s magazine! I am going to be a marine biologist and love learning about the ocean and all that is in it.
