Join us to explore digital technology in our everyday lives.

You’ll find activities to suit all ages, from Under 5s right through to retirees. Drop in throughout the day at a time that suits you! Explore digital technology through crafts, art, talks, video, making TikToks and even try your hand at recording a podcast. All inspired by expert research!

What’s it about?

There are four trail routes to choose from:

Little Explorers: Activities and free-play opportunities for Under 5s, including yoga, story time and sensory activities all linked to digital technology.

Young Innovators: Primary school adventurers in Key stage 1 & 2 will enjoy a blend of fun and education, meeting robots, and exploring how our lives have developed since the Victorian times due to digital technologies.

Tech Trailblazers: Young people aged 11-17 will delve into deeper discussions and hands-on activities that challenge their understanding of digital in their lives. Record a podcast, learn how to train your algorithm, and explore how data and social media have become woven into our lives.
