""Visiting Cabaret Mechanical Theatre is like drifting into a bizarre and fascinating dream" - What's on in London What is it? Well, it's not a theatre or a cabaret for a start. It's a kind of exhibition or museum (but we don't like those words). So, what is it? It's a collection of contemporary automata, which is a kind of mechanical sculpture. Nearly all of the work in the collection is humourous."

"There are spare robot parts all over the Museum. It's the job of Twitch (up there, in red) to go and collect them. It won't be easy, and that's the problem: our adorable-but-lazy friend likes things easier.

Game for Science has to be one of the coolest virtual worlds for kids. This virtual world is dedicated to getting kids excited about science and technology. Students can explore various virtual islands where they will learn about health, aeronautics, genomics, environment, engineering and more. Students can learn more about science careers, what scientists do, play games, learn interesting facts, and explore science photos and videos. Students can play the Game for Science as a tourist without registering, or they can register for an account (this requires an email address with confirmation).
