You'll create a metal loop that you then have to guide around a wire maze without the two touching. If they touch, a buzzer sounds and you have to start all over again!
No electronics experience is required although you will need a steady hand to assemble the components and use the tools.
This is a great workshop aimed at children aged 9 years and older.

The Megaprocessor, a 10m-long and 2m high computer, takes pride of place in the foyer. This machine shows the inner workings of a microprocessor, the ubiquitous chip at the heart of billions of electronic devices.
Microprocessors are so small that they're incredibly hard to understand, even though they are vitally important to modern society. The Megaprocessor blows up these chips to show off their components on a much larger scale, letting anyone gain an appreciation for the inner workings of a smartphone, laptop or games console.
