Event description
Join us for a wondrous afternoon of science activities that you can do at home. Alom Shaha will show his favourite demos and you can try them afterwards! From simple things you have lying around the house, Alom will show you how to create exciting and hands-on science anywhere in the house. The event will consist of a talk in the theatre, followed by hands-on activities around the building.
This event is particularly suitable for ages 7+.
