Tech Camp is a school for children that teaches youngsters from the age of nine how to code and get them hooked on science. The school was set up over ten years ago by Tom Ward, who worked previously as a teacher and electrical engineer. He talks to Linda Lewis about the school's mission to 'inspire tomorrow's inventors' and their courses. From building robot arms to designing computer games, the school prides itself in teaching advanced tech skills to young people before they enter the competitive industry.
The Bank of England Museum houses gold bars, bank notes and a whole host of exhibits charting the Bank's role at the heart of Britain's financial system stretching back over 300 years. Linda Lewis has been along to meet the curator Anna Spender and find out what's on offer to visitors.
