Coalbrookdale and the Ironbridge Gorge have been the centre of innovative design and technological development for centuries
Designing and Evaluating
Enginuity in Coalbrookdale is the obvious choice when encouraging children to investigate and evaluate everyday items. There are four different sections: Power & Energy, Materials & Structures, Systems & Control and Design, each containing interactive displays. To develop their design skills a step further the museum offers a number of challenging workshops.
Skills and Techniques
 At Blists Hill Victorian Town students can see traditional tasks such as printing (printing workshops available), candle making and cooking. The foundry casts iron every Wednesday (please telephone in advance to confirm).
