  • Lecturers: Dr Sam Wass

If you read the newspapers, you'd think that computer games 'stunt teen brains' and that the internet has made us all stupid and lazy. In this talk Dr Sam Wass looks behind the headlines at the scientific evidence and investigates whether these technologies really are damaging our brains.

Tickets are £1.50 per person. We charge a small fee for schools events to help discourage non-attendance and provide income to invest back into our schools programme.  Why not make the most of your visit and look around our museum at the same time?

Please note, this event is designed for secondary school groups, aged 16-18 yrs old. Home educators are welcome to bring their school age children age 11 and above.  Children below the age of 11 will not be admitted into the theatre and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times whilst in the building. Please see our full terms and conditions.
