ONGOING

Let Wallace & Gromit, the animated duo responsible for kooky contraptions and oddball business schemes, guide your family through A World of Cracking Ideas, an exhibition at London’s Science Museum designed to inspire a new generation of innovative minds. Kids can fuel their creative streaks by interacting with real devices that have transformed our daily lives. The exhibit runs through November 1, but youngsters can visit www.crackingideas.com all year-round to enter contests with their own inventions.
