Materials of the Future

What is being developed now in Material Science?

We will use the museum’s collection to help develop ideas; skills and scientific vocabulary that we can then use when look at smart and modern materials through demonstrations and experiments.

We generally offer two sessions a day each with a maximum of 35 students. A session will last from one hour to an hour and half.

Our sessions are £7 per student under 16 years old, with one adult free per ten students.
