A Mechanical Dance
Engineer the components to design a hidden mechanism for a machine!
From ancient Greece to the modern day, we have been fascinated by machines that replicate the actions of humans and animals.
In this session, explore the science behind moving mechanisms, such as pulleys, levers, drives and gears, and then use your knowledge to assemble them into contraptions of your design!
Tickets are available to book online. Booking will close at midnight on the Wednesday before each session.
On the day, please head to the main Science Centre reception with your ticket and a member of staff will take you to the lab.
