A day of STEM activities where children aged 6-11 build, invent and experiment with real tools at the Coventry Transport Museum.
Future Engineers is running at Coventry Transport Museum on Thursday 29 October, a full-day holiday club for STEM-curious children aged 6 to 11. It's more of an engineering playground than a typical club: the day is built around building, inventing and exploring with real tools, with the museum's Learning Team on hand throughout. All team members hold enhanced DBS certificates.
The morning and afternoon are filled with facilitated STEM activities — exploring, designing, building and experimenting with real materials in creative challenges that reward problem-solving, imagination and teamwork. Between the sessions, there's time to wander the museum galleries and take in the vehicles, engineering stories and transport-history innovations that made them. There are also open-ended play and chill-out spaces for when the kids need a bit of a breather.
Because it's at the Transport Museum, the day includes a visit to the Thrust SSC Simulator and access to the Tinker Make Play zone. The museum itself is home to the world's two fastest cars, Thrust SSC and Thrust 2, so there's plenty to look at around the building even when you're not in a session.

It runs from 9.30am to 3.30pm, so it's a proper full day. Children should bring a packed lunch, a refillable water bottle and comfortable clothing they don't mind getting a bit messy in. Tickets are £27.80 per child, which includes the booking fee, and there's a sibling discount of 20% off two or more tickets with the code SIBLING20.
