October Holiday at Coventry Transport Museum

This October holiday explore, test and celebrate all types of energy sources. Where does energy come from, and what can we use it for?

Challenge your creativity with our specially designed challenge kits during our Make and Play Engineers sessions. Use gigantic materials or smaller elements to think about transport technology.

Uncover minerals in the ‘Briefcase of mineral application’ workshop, led by experts from Coventry University.

There is lots to do!

Let’s be curious!

This October, we have set ourselves the challenge to understand energy as a resource. What is energy? What does it do? Where does it come from?

Throughout the whole of October, we will explore energy by using STEM concepts (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) discovering how it is used throughout our own collection.

Engineer gigantic structures and tiny masterpieces out of multifaceted materials.

Explore this topic in a playful way with open ended resources.

Challenges will also be waiting for children aged 5-8 so we can all play, explore and learn amid our collections.
