Raring2go! Hereford & Worcester

19 Raring2go! WHAT’S ON Raring2go! WHAT’S ON? 3 Design & Technology THE MAD MUSEUM in Stratford Upon Avon is a quirky attraction displaying interactive pieces of mechanical art, kinetic art and automata. If you’re not quite sure what mechanical art is all about, think of the machines and gizmos used in Wallace and Gromit, Scrapheap Challenge and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Information Technology Explore the new ‘Makers and Machines’ exhibition at THINKTANK and learn about the long history of coding. Look at how local weavers and knitters, mathematicians and scientists, and artists and gamers all use coding in their work. There will be a range of digital and analogue devices on display, plus the chance to see some classic game designs, learn how punched cards worked, and design your own weaving pattern. Life Sciences Whether you love the butterflies and minibeasts at STRATFORD BUTTERFLY FARM, the farm animals at HATTON ADVENTURE WORLD, the safari drive through at WEST MIDLANDS SAFARI PARK or the loveable rescued horses and donkeys at REDWINGS – there are lots of opportunities to indulge your family’s interest in the animal world around us. Or take a step back in time and visit Dippy the Diplodicus at the HERBERT ART GALLERY AND MUSEUM.
