Ever wondered what do engineers do all day? Find out this Friday as a crack team of engineering maestros join our Explainers for the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s Engineering Open House Day.
They’ll be helping out on Soapy Scientists and Terrific Towers, giving you the low down on the thinking behind the fun. Plus there’ll be even more engineering action in our new Textile's Conversation Space, where you can try challenges and chat to the people who build our world.

#PowerUp opens on Friday so we're all about gaming this week at the museum. Over on the blog today we're looking at how banks are using gaming to keep you entertained (and keep your custom) #lunchtimereading http://bit.ly/2AnFnZW

What do Silicon Valley, Tokyo and Albert Square have in common? No, not pigeons. At one stage in the 80s, they were all competing against each other to be the centre of the gaming industry. 🎮🕹️ Read our lunchtime blog about Manchester, gaming city ahead of our #PowerUP event that opens next Friday. Woop! 🤩 (Sly pic popping up in preview link. You're welcome) http://bit.ly/2uQxWWf
