We have created an out-of-this world learning programme to coincide with Tim Peake's Soyuz capsule landing at the museum in March 2018.

Why aren't umbrellas made from sponge? Or mugs from wax? This fun, cross-curricular creative workshop explores product development.

Fun, surprising and cross-curricular, this creative workshop explores sound waves.

In this live demonstration of our historic machinery, we’ll show your students how steam engines work and teach them about the history of power.

Go back in time to Cottonopolis and learn what life was like for Victorian mill workers (including some as young as your students) in this thunderous demonstration.

Help your class discover the story of where science met industry and the modern world began, from steam power and the cotton industry, to computing and cutting-edge scientific research.

Join us for our very own star wars as different space experiments battle it out to be crowned your winner.  Launch yourself into a show full of experiments and games.
