How steady are your nerves? Come and find out by building a game, including doing some soldering. You'll create a metal loop that you then have to guide around a wire maze without the two touching. If you they touch, a buzzer sounds and you have to start all over again!
No electronics experience is required although you will need a steady hand to assemble the components and use our tools.
This is a great workshop aimed at children aged 9 years and older.
This workshop session is priced at £32.50 and includes the admission price of 1 child with an accompanying adult to the museum and the cost of the kit that you will take away! For participants aged 14 or under, we require an accompanying adult to attend the workshop alongside them.
Date: Thursday 6th August 2026
Time: 11 am - 12.30 pm
This workshop will start promptly at 11 am, so please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
Please note: Whilst we'll make every effort to help ensure your game works, careful assembly and soldering is required and we cannot be held responsible for any non-working kits due to poor assembly.
