This new, specially-designed virtual session includes a live 20-minute introduction to Tower Bridge and its engineering by a member of the Learning team, followed by a 45-minute self-led activity on writing and debugging code to control an animation of Tower Bridge using Scratch.

The Scratch activity is supported by instructional films for pupils, and written notes for the adult.

This workshop is for children aged 7 - 11 years old and links to History (local history) and Geography (human geography)

Looking closely at the unique circumstances necessitating Tower Bridge’s construction, students will gain an understanding of the Pool of London, as it was in 1894. They will be encouraged to use a range of historical sources to uncover the interdependent relationship between the Thames, international trade, and the extraordinary evolution of this area of London in the nineteenth century.

This workshop is for children aged 9 - 15 years old and links to D&T, STEM, Art, Geography.

Challenge your child to design London’s future skyline. Taking on the role of architects, children will visit the high level walkways to critically analyse the current London skyline before designing new landmarks using professional 3D design software, SketchUp.

Students will also be introduced to 3D printing and a 3D printed version of their design will be sent out to them following the session.
