Our team collaborated with the Museum of London to develop STEM-based activities for children and families. We reviewed published literature about family learning in museums and observed children's programs at London museums, then designed, developed, and delivered two activities for the Easter half-term. Based on observations and participant feedback, we developed recommendations for the design and implementation of future activities. Finally, we presented the Museum of London with seven new activities based on their collections to educate children about aspects of STEM.
