About this Event
STEM Family Activities! Fun for the whole family
You will also have the opportunity to explore the whole museum as a family and be inspired by the hands-on demonstrations from our expert guides and volunteers.
We offer a variety of activities from Sphero Bolts and OSMO Augmented Reality to programming BBC Micros and making 3D art in Virtual Reality! Between the sessions, you can explore the rest of our museum or have a go with our Digital Trails (available at the main entrance).
Our educational STEM activities have become the go-to Milton Keynes event for children wanting creative fun during the school holidays and every weekend throughout the year. From Minecraft to OSMO, BBC micro:bits to Robotics, there is plenty to do to unlock imaginations, inspire and entertain. Educational fun for all the family, providing byte sized tasters of coding, robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality and much much more!
Please note that these hands-on activities are not drop-off events. Parental supervision is required at all times.
Each day consists of 2 drop in sessions spread throughout the day, leaving you time to explore the museum and enjoy all of the STEM activities!
