Did you ķnow? The famous Cambridge company Pye once started off life in a garden shed?

In honour of this awesome fact.....and in readiness for the summer holidays....and in the hope of inspiring the next generation of bright sparks.....we have installed our very own educational treasure trove, exploring key STEM themes, related to the work of the wonderful Pye Company. Bring along your aspiring mini engineers, scientists and inventors to explore what we have on offer. There is something for everyone, including an amazing library of STEM themed books.

Huge thanks to the wonderful Pye Foundation for the very generous grant that made this possible 🥳. Happy summer holidays everyone. We are open Thursday to Sunday throughout the summer holidays. For more information please visit www.museumoftechnology.com 🥰
