Summer is here at NEMO! From 4 July to 30 August, there’s a packed programme of activities at the museum. Take part in real scientific research in Science Live, be amazed by the Chain Reaction and experiment in the Lab. In the Makery, you can choose from three exciting workshops. And dive into the world of games at the new Game On exhibition. Finish off with a tasty treat on the Rooftop Square and see what’s growing and blooming there.
Video games are now bigger than the film and music industries combined. But how are they affecting us? In this exhibition, you can explore how games are changing the way we play, socialise and express ourselves. It’s designed for both seasoned gamers and people who’ve never held a controller before. You can find Game On on the second floor, in the Theatre. Open from 11 a.m.
Send a secret message, create a short film or make your own 'ghost' appear.
You generally use a mirror to look at yourself. But did you know that you can also use reflections to do all kinds of experiments? Play with reflections and make your own 'ghost' appear.
Using short and long signals and the Morse code alphabet, you can make letters to send messages to each other. You can even operate a train using Morse code!
Your brain merges several images when you see them in very quick succession: they appear to move. Try it yourself! Using a special spinning cylinder with vertical cuts, the zoetrope, and lots of drawings, you can make your own short film.
