I  must admit that working in museums is definitely not dull and boring as you never know what tomorrow will bring! Today i met Yorkie-saurus! Yorkie for short –  is a colourful looking remote control robotic dinosaur that was created by the fabulous Science team at the Yorkshire Museum – he is fantastic!  He moves forward, backward and can also swivel. I’ve been informed that Yorkie will be making his appearance to visitors next week at our Dino-robots Family Challenge Day. Visitors including me (during my lunch break of course) - will be given the chance to build and name their own remote control dino-robot and  enter their creation in our special dino race – it’s going to be fun. Can’t wait for lunchtime next Wednesday!
