At campus we also have a house of technology; museum like house about technology, mainly used in mining. It is meant for kids, as you can try and drive almost everything, but it is free for students of LTU so we used a chance and saw it.

There you get a chance to learn everything about satellites, planes, mining, trains… The best part is that you can play with it. For example you make waves in a water to start “wave electrical plant” and lit up light bulb. Another example is when you put rocks in water to change current of water to help you lift a weight connected to water mill.

We even got a chance to lift logs with a real bulldozer (ok I don’t know real name of it, but it was the real one). And we got a chance to make our own paper.

All in all it was a fun and educational day, the only thing that was weird was that we were surrounded by kids and probably looked like idiots :D.
