North East Museums

Time Odyssey is a fun, interactive learning experience that takes pupils on a quest through their local museum – physically and virtually.

We are looking for volunteers to support our Assistant Learning Officer in the set up, pack up and running of the event. You will support with checking on schools, solving any tech issues, and speaking to the groups to ensure they are enjoying their visit and experience.
