Overview
Fun, hands-on STEM activities for curious young minds and their families
The Tunnellers Club is back at the Brunel Museum this September and October with a new series of fun, practical STEM sessions for families with children aged 5–12.
Since it first launched in 2022, the Tunnellers Club has become a popular part of the Brunel Museum’s family programme, welcoming children and their grown-ups to experiment, build, create and discover together through science, technology, engineering and maths.
Inspired by the incredible engineering story of the Thames Tunnel and the Brunels, each session gives families the chance to explore STEM through playful, hands-on challenges and experiments.
Over the years, our young Tunnellers have built tunnels, experimented with density by making lava lamps, created kaleidoscopes, designed propelled boats, explored 3D modelling and LiDAR technology, worked with recycled materials, made clay creations and much more.
