Home Educators

We run regular Home Educator days where no other educational groups are booked in for the day, so you and your family can explore the museum and take part in our unique, educational shows and activities.

Home Educator Days: Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th September 2024

BOOKINGS CLOSED!

This September, join us for one of our special Home Educator days!

A great opportunity for Home Educator families to visit the museum at a quieter time (we don’t take any school bookings on this day) and to take part in additional learning activities – JUST for Home Educator families!

Please note that the museum is still open to the general public on these days. However, we are restricting visitor numbers to ensure that you can still have the best possible experience.

Our theme is Let’s Get Digital! and we’re excited to be working with the Raspberry Pi Foundation

You can book online for the following activity…

Digital Making with the Raspberry Pi Foundation
Times: 10:15am-11:15am, 11:30am-12:30pm, 1pm-2pm & 2:15pm-3:15pm
Age range: 5yrs+

Come along to a taster session to get hands-on with coding, with interactive activities run by computing education charity, The Raspberry Pi Foundation. You can get started with coding using Scratch and Micro:bit, explore AI and build your own AI classifier, and even send your code to space! Activities are available for all levels and there will be plenty of information and resources to help you keep coding at home.

Places are limited for these sessions and are likely to fill up quickly so book early!

As well as drop-in to the following activities on the day…

Digi-Play

Have a go at Stop Motion Animation to make your own short film and experiment with Augmented Reality by bringing your colouring pictures to life!
