Description :

This is a fun and insightful workshop for those curious about what's inside the gadgets that we use every day!

We'll have a whole bunch of tech from phones and music players to laptops and computers, that you can take apart and explore. Our in-house tech expert will be on hand to help you understand how objects work and how tech has evolved from the simple days of tape recorders to modern MP3 players and mobile phones.

This two hour workshop will give you first hand experience of the 'magic' that happens inside your favourite gadgets!

Please note : We will be using screwdrivers to take apart real products. Manual dexterity will be required and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Workshop participants are £6.  Accompanying adults are charged our standard entry rate of £8.

Although the booking is for a specific time slot, entry to the museum is permitted all day.  The museum is open from 10am to 5pm.

Tea, coffee and snacks will be available from our Pac Lunch Shop.
