About this workshop
This is an on-site workshop delivered by our experienced Learning Team.
Visit Tower Bridge with your class and discover how this iconic structure opens to passing boats, and how technology has changed in its lifetime.
Pupils will work together in small teams to build a model of Tower Bridge to understand the Bridge's engineering and how modern-day coding can be used to make it open.
The workshop culminates in pupils writing and inputting the code required to raise the roads of an animated Tower Bridge using Scratch.
