Group H CITY OF IDEAS

SITE VISITS

The second day of our two-week event will be composed of several site visits across Manchester to gather facts and information about the city's pioneering works. After a visit to the Science and Industry Museum, students will explore other spaces in Manchester including the People's History Museum, The Vinyl Exchange and The National Graphene Institute to name a few! We hope to gather as much information and artefacts possible surrounding Manchester's innovative past, present and future. This will help inform our collaborators at the Science and Industry Museum as to the most exciting content to include in their upcoming exhibition, City of Ideas.

Today was our first visit to the Science and Industry Museum. We toured the exhibits and spoke with Curator Katie Belshaw to discuss the direction our event is going.

Through this discussion we defined the area of research, concentrating on the technological advances of Manchester in the post-war period, and how local companies will be using these in the future. Some interesting areas of research include, The Internet of Things, and Virtual Reality as an explorer of the city.

Over the next few weeks we are going to be looking in depth at the different strands of technological advances affecting professions in Manchester.
