Calling all 11-16 year olds! Join us for our hands-on monthly STEAM Club and enjoy a creative twist on your STEM subjects using authentic materials to explore the skills behind mining.

Sun 21 April – Viscosity

Unravel the mysteries of soap and discover why we use it, then harness the power of viscosity to propel a small boat.

Sun 19 May – Exothermic/Endothermic

What are exothermic and endothermic reactions? Come make elephants’ toothpaste and launch a small rocket to find out.

Sun 16 June – Contaminated Water/Water Treatment Plant

Investigate how successful our water treatment plant is for cleaning polluted mine-water. Experiment with lab equipment to test if the iron content is safe to be released into the local river.

(Please note children must be accompanied by an adult – adults do not need to book)
