Get buzz of engineering

Budding young engineers are being offered the chance to learn basic principles and make things move, buzz, grab and tilt at the National Mining Museum Scotland in Newtongrange.

The free Gear Driven Roadster workshop, for children aged seven and up, is to be held on Wednesday between 2pm and 3pm.

The workshop will look at how to produce movement and control a machine remotely using pneumatic principles and will even feature a robotic arm.

There are ten spaces available and tickets can be booked in advance at reception, or by calling 0131-663 7519.
