Holiday workshops: Loudspeakers and Acoustics (ages 9 - 11)

Acoustic devices are all around us, from loudspeakers to automotive exhaust systems, each designed to control and manipulate sound in different ways. In this hands-on workshop, participants will investigate the scientific principles that underpin modern acoustic design, including how sound is created, travels, and can be amplified or dampened.
Through experiments and discussion, participants will explore how engineers apply these concepts in real-world technologies. They will then put theory into practice by constructing a working loudspeaker using simple household materials, testing and refining their designs to improve sound quality and performance.

This workshop is strictly for 9 - 11 year-olds.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
