Direct Your Own TV Ad at the Melbourne Museum

Kids aged eight to 13 can bring their TV directing dream to life these school holidays at the TAC's Road to Zero Education Complex at Melbourne Museum.

During half-hour, hands-on workshops, tween visitors can use high-tech touch screens to create a broadcast-quality road safety advertisement about the importance of wearing helmets and protective gear while riding bikes, scooters and skateboards.

Participants collate pieces of footage, then apply music and a catchy road safety slogan, with the finished masterpieces emailed to them as a memento.

There will also be fun road safety activities to keep younger visitors entertained.

Where:   Melbourne Museum, 11 Nicholson St, Carlton
When:    11am - 3pm until October 4
Cost:      Free as part of Melbourne Museum entry
