Great ThinkTank Games come to museum
As some of the world 's best athletes prepare to compete in Birmingham, Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum is holding a family event - The Great Thinktank Games - to teach visitors about the science of sport.
Home to four floors of hands-on exhibits and historical collections, Thinktank at Millennium Point is celebrating all that 's great about sport with new interactive family displays and exhibitions.
During 'On your Marks, Get Set, Show ' families will learn that understanding science can help us be better at the sports we love and enjoy our own sporting achievements.
In Science Busking, another of The Great Thinktank Games events, you will challenge your engineering brainpower to build the tallest tower or longest bridge, test your reaction time to try to beat world-class athletes and learn how sport and Newton 's third law are connected.
When you 've completed your challenge, make your very own Thinktank medal badge to celebrate your achievements in the Thinktank Games!
On your Marks, Get Set, Show is at the theatre on Level 3 of Thinktank between 1pm and 3pm or 3pm to 3.30pm on weekdays until 2 September 2022. Science Busking takes place between 2.30pm to 4pm every day.
This event is included in the Thinktank entry price. No booking is required for this event, but it is recommended that visitors pre-book an admission ticket particularly at busy times such as school holidays.
If you 're in the company of LEGO Master Builders during your visit to Thinktank, they will love taking part in the Drawbots LEGO Studio Takeover during the summer holidays.
Shuffle, spin and dance with little DIY robots. Try your hand at building an award-winning robot athlete or enthusiastic robot mascot to take part in fun robot sports.
Younger robot builders can have a go at building their own Duplo Hockey player and try to hit the back of the net!
Suitable for children aged 6+. The session costs £2.50 per person, in addition to the Thinktank admission price. Please book the LEGO workshop at the Thinktank ticket desk on arrival.
Workshops are 45 minutes and take place at 12:30pm, 2pm, and 3pm between Monday 25th July and Friday 2nd September 2022.
