Young Engineers Experience Days - age 11 and up

Gloucester

20, 27 August 2019

Time: 11 - 2:30pm

 

 

Come and be an engineer for the day at the National Waterways Museum Gloucester by getting up close to the historic Fielding engine in the Engine House near the museum.

Parents drop children at the museum at 11am in the capable hands of the Canal & River Trust - Explorers team. The young engineers will learn about the Fielding engine by going though an engine checklist and see its inner workings using the cross section. They will then see the engine in action before going to lunch (please bring a packed lunch).

Children will then get a chance to work out how they would explain the Fielding Engine to the general public, creating any visuals they might need and then having a little practice. At 2pm they will get a chance to explain the engine to Museum Visitors. Parents are welcome to come back at 2pm to learn about the engine, or come and pick up from the museum when the session finishes at 2.30pm.

The sessions on these dates are suitable for children aged 11 and up. Please email Helen.Evans@canalrivertrust.org.uk if you would like to book your free place. The day is limited to 4 children.
