BUILD A GEODESIC DOME <br />
Learn about design by creating<br />
complex shapes. Using a variety<br />
of 3D printed and lasercut items,<br />

geometric forms from an<br />

AGES 7+ WORKSHOP<br />
MAKE A MONSTER <br />
Meet some of the strangest<br />
animals that exist on our planet<br />
and learn how biodiversity and<br />
adaptation help them to survive.<br />
Inspired by these weird creatures,<br />
you’ll design and make your<br />
very own monster from recycled<br />
materials. We’ll also help you<br />
to capture a photograph of your<br />
monster in its natural habitat using<br />
our custom Monster Photobooth!<br />

Tony De Saulles and celebrate the<br />
fantastic series in its 20th year.<br />
Pencils at the ready as Tony will<br />
teach you how to draw science<br />
at its most fascinating… And its<br />
most gruesome! An event not to<br />
be missed.<br />
AGES 10+ WORKSHOP<br />
MAKE YOUR OWN<br />
CONTACT SPEAKER <br />
Get hands-on with science and<br />
sound! Using a simple solder<br />
kit and a piezo transducer, learn<br />
how to create a contact speaker<br />
that can turn any surface into an<br />
amplifier. Test it against cardboard,<br />
plastics, fabrics and other surfaces<br />
and find out what materials work<br />
best for amplifying sound. At the<br />
end of the workshop you’ll get to<br />
take your contact speaker home!<br />

ALL AGES SHOW<br />
SIR MOUSTACHE BRISTLEBY<br />
AND THE ED-SPLORERS<br />
Sir Moustache Bristleby and Co<br />
have travelled the world exploring<br />
exotic lands and having many<br />
marvellous adventures along the<br />
way. Though they arrived here<br />
quite by accident, there’s nothing<br />
these three love more than a<br />
captive audience. Join them to<br />
hear stories of their marvellous<br />
adventures, each tale more<br />
exhilarating and far-fetched than<br />
the last, as they bring shadow<br />
puppetry and storytelling theatre<br />
for adventurers of all ages to the<br />
Science Festival.<br />
10.30am and 2.30pm | 45 mins<br />
£6, family ticket £20 (4 tickets) | Main Hall<br />
AGES 12+ WORKSHOP<br />
RE-CASTING PLASTIC <br />
Get creative with recycling!<br />
Festivals and events produce<br />
a large amount of waste: food<br />
packaging, flyers, plastic bags,<br />
bottles and wristbands. Join<br />
STORE to help turn that waste<br />
plastic into new design objects.<br />
The process is a small-scale<br />
version of industrial recycling: the<br />
waste material is sorted, shredded,<br />
heated and finally reformed. Each<br />
participant will have the chance to<br />
design and make a product to take<br />
away with them.<br />
10am and 3pm | 3 hours<br />
£25 | Basement Gallery 4<br />
Presented by STORE<br />
