Students solve science challenges about Museum objects with digital microscopes and computers.

They learn about the techniques that museum scientists use to investigate ancient objects, uncover their hidden surprises and create a multimedia presentation that is sent back to school.

This session is in collaboration with the Museum’s Department of Conservation and Scientific Research.

The literacy level required for some of the activities makes this session unsuitable for students below Year 5.

Maximum group size: 30
