Join us for the UK's largest free science festival, exploring
subjects from astronomy to zoology, with demonstrations, hands on
experiments, talks from leading scientists, and visits to University
and partner facilities. Over 150 events will give families, adults and
children of all ages two weeks of hands on science and insight into the
University’s cutting edge research. Many of the hands on activities,
demonstrations and children’s lectures will take place on our family
fun days on Saturday 13 and 20 March.
Highlights for adults:
- Investigate the science of survival with Helen Keen (Channel 4 New Comedy Writing Award Winner) in as she tells of the frozen world of early Arctic exploration and her own humid family history
- Join specialist science guides on the Daring Diversity walking tour to discover why Newton poked a needle in his eye and why Darwin’s nickname was ‘Gas’
- Discover the science of humour as Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman describes his year-long search for the world’s funniest joke
Highlights for families:
