Design and Technology
Our collection is a unique resource for students of design and technology.
Using the collection to design and create war machines such as a trebuchet, challenges students with real problems which a study of our collection can help them to solve.
Investigating arms and armour can provide alternative ways of approaching the study of resistant materials and the impact of forces on different materials.
We can offer students a quiet study base, hands on activities and an inside view into how arms and armour developed to counteract new weaponry.
- Each booking is for a half day (finish at 12.00pm) or whole day (finish at 2.00pm). Groups usually arrive at 10am though this can be negotiated at the time of booking. The cost is £2.00 per pupil.
- There can be up to 4 sessions throughout the day, each lasting between 30 – 60 minutes depending on the age and ability of the pupils.
- Sessions are suitable for groups of 30 and any group larger than 30 will be split into smaller groups and will work their way around every session.
- We have enjoyed receiving groups of up-to 140 pupils in one day.
