Have you ever really thought about how an everyday, household item, like your TV or radio actually works?  

If like many of us, you haven’t given it much thought - or you have......but put it down to a bit of electromagnetic wizardry - then our very own Explainer series of videos offers a wonderful insight into the workings of technology we use, day in, day out.   

Cambridge Museum of Technology volunteers, with the technical know-how and years in the industry have been busy sharing their expertise in these wonderful Explainer videos.  With a focus on the Pye brand – an iconic Cambridge company, that many are still familiar with today, it is with thanks to the Pye History Trust that we have these films.  

Aimed at an audience of GCSE level students and above, these videos are a useful tool to support understanding in physics at Key Stage 4 and 5, or for those adult enthusiasts with a passion for understanding our technological heritage.
