Dedicated to our 7-10-year-olds, our Holiday Club invites those who are curious about STEM subjects and are looking for a whole day-experience of getting hands-on with specially designed STEM activities from a variety of experts.

Exploring the theme PRESS PLAY, a variety of MiCLab STEM activities are set up for your young people to actively – and playfully - explore our museum’s collection as well as relax in the unique environment of our museum.

Self-led activities encourage independent and playful engagement with STEM related concepts and include:

· A deconstruction zone

· A maker space with tools, modelling material and electronics

· A quiet space with books, sketching material and small construction sets

· Board games

· And more

Guided activities provide opportunities for young people to further develop their STEM knowledge and gain practical skills.
