'The Workplays' Calderdale Industrial Museum
A specific installation which enables children to relate to the key themes explored in this museum. A fun range of 'hands on' activities for younger children encourage them to explore scientific and domestic issues through play and discovery. |

'Magic Machines' Bradford Industrial Museum.
A commission to build five interactive 'Magic Machines'. Each of these demonstrates, in a simple way, one type of power transmission used in industrial machinery. Jigsaw characters and simple text help explain what happens when children turn the handle on each machine. |
| We are always keen to explore interesting and innovative ways in which children can explore history and culture. | |
