Ocean Lab opens at the museum on Saturday 14th February with fizzy whizzy rocket making, artwork creation using robot Scribblebots that move across the page, and a themed museum trail.

From Monday to Friday (February half term), Discovering42’s Mobile Marvels Exhibition will see visitors taking on the challenge of navigating a giant mechanical maze, experimenting with cymatics (sounds and vibration), and even using their bodies to complete an electrical circuit.

Beth Nicholls, Cross Arts Programming Officer at the museum, comments: “We’re very excited to be teaming up with Discovering42, who will wow families with their mind-bending experiments and weird science. Anyone who has been to the Discovering42 museum in Bodmin will know that we are expecting something a little bit special this half term.”

Fizzy Whizzy Rocket Making takes place from 10.30am – 12.30pm during the weekends of half term (14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd February). The Scribblebots will be in action everyday throughout half term, 12.30pm to 3.30pm (last entry 3.15pm). The museum trail is open all day, everyday throughout half term.
