"Thanks so much- it was a really enjoyable session filled with excellent ideas that made good use of the format. It will also be very useful as we move into our historical part of our module, and I'll be using some of those games again too!"

As we are currently unable to offer workshops at the museum, we are offering schools the opportunity to take part in our virtual ships and shipbuilding workshop. 

This live session will last 45 minutes.
