Description

Discovering42, based in Bodmin, is a multi award-wining Science and Sustainability Museum, internationally recognised for their pioneering sustainable exhibits and workshops that encourage resourcefulness through the inventive use of upcycled materials.



In direct responses to the cost of living crisis, Discovering42 want to create a
mobile STEM exhibition, a science and sustainability hub that can be taken to towns and villages across Cornwall, to transform public realms, improve the perception of community spaces and provide access to educational opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to rural communities due to unreliable public transport and the cost of coaches for school trips.

The project involves designing new mobile exhibits with a team of volunteers and artists and building the exhibits, purchasing a suitable electric vehicle, as per the specification at section , van and marquee to transport and deliver the exhibition.

We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
