Marconi: Aerials, Radios & Valves - Art Activity Pack

This art activity pack was developed by our Artist in Residence, Elaine Tribley to coincide with the British Science Festival hosted by Chelmsford’s Anglia Ruskin University in September 2021.

Targeted at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, this activity pack provides a range of activities focused around the pioneering work of Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi and the Marconi Company he founded in Chelmsford developed and built the technology required for the wireless communication that we rely on today, whether it is our kitchen radio or our mobile phones. 

The activities themselves are inspired by just some of the thousands of photographs taken by the Marconi Photographic Unit and preserved at the Essex Record Office.

The project to create this resource was jointly funded by the Essex Record Office and Chelmsford City Council.
