Home Education Day

Tuesday, 25th February

 

Join us for Home Education Day, featuring interactive STEM workshops, a guided tour of Concorde, and the chance to explore our fascinating exhibition.

During the Layer It Up workshop (for ages 5-15),you'll explore the different materials used to make aircraft, past and present. Learn all about composite materials and how they have become so important in 21st-century manufacturing. In a group, you will make a composite by layering different materials and carry out an experiment to test its strength.

Take a guided tour of Concorde (for ages 5-15) and discover its many engineering triumphs, record-breaking achievements, and much more, all whilst standing underneath the iconic supersonic passenger jet.

You can also buy tickets for the Red Arrows Experience Simulator. Have you ever dreamed of piloting a jet like the legendary Red Arrows? Aerospace Bristol’s Red Arrows Simulator offers an immersive experience that makes you feel like you're part of the famous aerobatic team.

Please note, a valid museum is required to attend any workshops.

Our STEM workshops suitable for mixed ages:

 Blast off Rockets: (suitable for both younger and older learners)

Uncover the physics of escaping the Earth. Discover the science behind how rockets are shaped and powered for space travel. Create, test and optimise your own rocket design ready for launch.

- Science (Physics)

 Mission to Mars: Cracking Coding (suitable for younger learners)

In this interactive workshop, put your scratch coding skills to the test by trying to complete a research mission on Mars. Once you have successfully programmed their Mars rover to collect rock samples, you will work scientifically to investigate which Martian material will be best for building homes on the planet.

- Computing (Coding), Maths and Science (Space, Chemical Reactions)

 Mission to Mars: Winning Prototypes (suitable for older learners)

Look to the future of aerospace engineering by developing a prototype of a new Mars rover. Work as a team to design, build and test a Mars rover. Compete with your classmates to meet the criteria of a design brief and produce the best prototype for the mission.

- Science, Maths and DT
