At today's openday I'm enjoying talking to prospective students about the support and innovation my team provides to staff and students at the sim centre. Making cheap materials on mass, creating models that don't exist to purchase, maximising immersion. #techniciansmakeithappen

My colleagues have been curious as to why there's a wall made of knock-off duplo on my desk, so I decided to turn it into an informative installation... With a warning. Science Museum Technician Exhibit, eat your heart out. #techniciansmakeithappen #techniciancommitment
