Our weekly Mini Museum Engineers play space give your little ones plenty of opportunities to explore the wonder of physics in an open-ended play environment using unique resources with a STEM* based approach that encourage early engineering skills, problem-solving, imagination and, of course, fun!

Play is linked to themes and objects within our collections and take place directly in our museum gallery, giving your children early experiences of museum environments through a very playful approach. Each week our mini engineers will get hands-on with play items that differ slightly each time, offering varied experiences for them each time they visit. 

*Not sure what STEM is? Don’t worry, you don’t really need to know what it is to enjoy and embrace these activities. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. This can sound a little scary, especially when you have children aged under 5, but STEM based play is important for children in their early years to develop skills and knowledge that they will use as they enter school and into their adulthood too. Exposure to any play that encourages children to figure things out, how things work and to be creative is STEM, and as you become more familiar with our sessions, you will quickly realise that STEM is all around us, all the time, and you will have been supporting your children with this already, perhaps without even realising it.

Nursery groups and larger childminder groups of more than 5 children please contact ctm.info@cvlife.co.uk or our Family Learning Coordinator, Anja, anja@cvlife.co.uk for assistance.
