CHILDREN can shoot for the stars at a series of space-themed half-term activities at the National Science and Media Museum.
Nine days of free family fun begins tomorrow, as part of Bradford’s Family Learning Festival.
Taking inspiration from being the first venue on the national tour of Tim Peake’s space capsule, the museum is launching a raft of space-themed activities.
John Darnbrough, the museum’s learning programme developer, said: “In addition to seeing the incredible display of the Soyuz TMA-19M capsule which carried Tim Peake from the International Space Station back to Earth, visitors will be able to build and test their own balloon-powered Mars rover, design a Space Mission Patch, make a mini rocket to launch across the museum and have a go at astronaut training exercises.”
Also throughout the half-term, the Picturehouse will be screening Wallace and Gromit’s trip to the moon in A Grand Day Out, as well as animated aliens the Floogals, in the museum’s cinemas. Cinema admittance fees apply.
