Join the Thackray Boffins as they uncover the secret science that sits behind medical innovation and discovery. Inspire your own future health heroes with inspiring true tales, jaw-dropping demonstrations and, of course, audience participation.

Step inside the offices of Boffin Devices Incorporated where we design unique healthcare technology which is truly all about YOU.

This summer the Boffins need your help with their latest invention – the top-of-the-range Tympanic MembraneTM (or eardrum as it’s more widely known). Get to work exploring how sound travels through our ear canal and the tools our bodies use to ensure we hear it loud and clear. How would you go about replicating this for the masses? The choice is yours.

The Thackray Boffins will be appearing at 1pm every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the Summer Holidays. Spaces are limited and pre-booking is highly recommended.

Please note this event is only available to those with valid museum entry. When booking please ensure you have a valid annual pass for everyone attending, or choose ‘Museum Entry’ when booking to add a new one. Sessions are designed for those aged 7+ and last approx. 30 minutes.
