Self-Guided Museum Explorations:
Our trails hub starts in the Pop-Up Gallery, where you can loan an ipad. This will give you all the important information about the self-guided explorations available at TNMOC. If you’re struggling or need pointers, our experts will be on hand to help! Some trails are digital (please bring your own device, as limited iPads are available), and some are paper-based.
Museum Trail:
Codename: Cipher [Enigma & The Bombe] - The year is 1940 and you have been invited to Bletchley Park to assist in the war effort. Your first assignment is to catch the undercover spy operating out of the UK known only as Codename Cipher.
Drop-In Workshops:
Sphero BOLTs (BBC Classroom) - Explore the digital realm by guiding your robots through the physical world, fostering hands-on learning of coding. Develop problem-solving skills as you direct your robot through progressively intricate instructions. Unleash your imagination and enjoy the playful process of programming with Sphero.
Freeform MTA Creation (Meeting Room) - In this activity, students will use the MTA Kit to design and build innovative engineering solutions, applying critical thinking and hands-on experimentation to real-world challenges. Through guided tasks and open-ended projects, learners will explore engineering concepts like mechanics, automation, and structural design. The MTA Kit empowers students to construct, test, and refine their creations, allowing them to see theory come to life.
