With collaborators including Marvel Studios, the NHS and the National Grid, the gallery is based on real tasks technicians do every day – from creating visual effects on a blockbuster film set to analysing blood samples in a medical laboratory. Pupils can get hands-on with interactive exhibits that simulate job-related tasks to help them consider what they would like to do in the future.
