Digital Future Day: Home Educators
About this Event
What is DFD: Home Educator...
‘Click or Treat’?
Similar to our previous Digital Future Days… but this one is brewed with a little extra hocus-pocus, exclusively for home-educated ghouls, ghosts and little monsters of all ages!
Step inside, reboot your imagination and discover mysterious machines, secret codes and digital discoveries lurking around every corner.
On the Day:
Prepare to creepy-crawl on a self-guided tour through the Museum and watch computing history come alive at your own pace ~ from the historic monster codebreaking machines of World War II to the birth of our modern digital world.
Keep your eyes peeled… you never know what might be lurking around the corner!
If your little monster needs a helping hand finding their way around and to make sure your visit is as comfortable and seamless as possible, we offer a Visual Story and Sensory Map to help guide the way.
All of our activities are flexible drop-in sessions, giving your little monsters the freedom to follow their curiosity and conjure up their own learning adventure.
So grab your broomstick, charge your imagination and get ready to…
CLICK OR TREAT ~ TNMOC STYLE!!
Itinerary for the day:
Phantom Flight
Move over broomsticks… it’s time to become mad rocket scientists!!
In this session, your ghouls, ghosts and little monsters will design, build and launch their own gravity-defying rockets and eerie aircraft using SimplePlanes and Juno Rockets.
Will your creation soar into the cosmos or vanish into the ghostly atmosphere?
Micro:bit Haunted Highway
Can your robot car sense things that go bump in the night?
Program a Micro:bit car to detect obstacles and dodge the phantom wall just in time. Your ghouls, ghosts and little monsters will learn the magic of sensors and loops to keep their cars safe from the lurking ghosts!
Creepy Crafting Zone
Step inside our creepy crafting zone… it's the perfect chance to take a break from the screens!
Your ghouls, ghosts and little monsters will roll up their sleeves to brew, glue and create their own spooktacular masterpieces. From eerie decorations to monstrous masterpieces, your imagination is the only limit.
No spellbooks required!
Magical Orbs: The Dark Maze Escape
Witches and wizards, grab your digital wands!
In this thrilling session, your ghouls, ghosts and little monsters will control glowing, magical Sphero orbs through a dark maze. Using your coding spells and driving skills, you must guide your glowing sphere through the dark twists and turns to escape.
Can you illuminate the darkness and find the way out?
