Excursions | Self-guided visits

A self-guided visit gives students the freedom to explore the museum at their own pace while engaging with interactive exhibits and hands-on learning. We offer discounted entry for large school groups, along with activities and resources to enrich the experience.

This flexible learning opportunity connects to key curriculum areas, including Design and Technologies, Digital Technologies, Media Arts, History, Science and more. Students can investigate topics such as innovation, ethics in design, energy transformation, digital systems, visual arts, and communication design.

These activity sheets allow us to tailor a guided but fun way to direct students to relevant objects, people or subjects for your students to learn about.

Students become NCM Bureau of Investigation agents and are assigned dossiers with clues about their targets and a series of questions to answer when they find them. Working in teams, the students can compete to see which team can find all the intel first and emerge as the top spy team!

An additional $50 per 30 students
