What's new

London moving session

Have you ever wanted to see in the dark? Have you ever wondered how many horses it took to help run London's transport system? If steam energy was the answer to London transport needs why did it make travelling on the Underground so unpleasant and how does an Oyster Card work?

To find out the answer to these questions and many more join our Transport Professor for "London Moving", a fun and interactive show, to look behind the scenes at the science of London's transport systems from the past to the present.

London Transport Museum Depot, Acton Town

As part of National Science and Engineering Week, The London Transport Museum is offering 5 of your Key Stage 3 and 4 students the unique chance to design solutions to some of the issues facing London's transport system going into the 21st Century. They will investigate the issues, consult with the experts and then pitch their ideas to our very own Museum Dragon's Den in an exciting day of events at London Transport Museum Depot, Acton Town, to win prizes and prestige.

Students will work in project teams to conduct enquiries, solve practical engineering problems, and put forward their ideas of a practical solution to a real problem. They will be supported by practicing engineers and transport planners from a range of sectors. They will also enhance important transferable skills such as team working and communication.

We are looking for 5 of your crack engineering and applied science students to take part in this event which is developed and delivered by London Transport Museum, in partnership with the London Engineering Project.

For further details please phone our bookings team on +44 (0)20 7565 7298, or contact our learning department on +44 (0)20 7565 7421
