Ravencliffe High School pupils took over running Eureka! for the day
Twelve Ravenscliffe pupils worked in different areas of the museum, from helping arriving visitors at the admissions tills to serving customers in the gift shop and even controlling the museum’s social media channels for the day!
The team then interviewed Darren Fearnley, a Eureka! Enabler, who talked about his exciting, varied role that often includes playing characters such as infamous pirate Jack Sparrow.
