COMMUNITY FAIR – ROBOTS, SPACE, SMALL THINGS

Interactive Stands

Audience Family friendlySuitable for all

Spark young imaginations with hands-on science and engineering fun for all ages at the Nancy Rothwell Building. Whether you’re curious about earth, space or virtual worlds, there’s something here for everyone.

Lego Rovers

Try your hand at coding a Lego Rover to discover how we communicate with robots on distant planets like Mars and navigate new worlds aboard the futuristic explorer rover.

Space Rocks

Think you know your space rocks? Get up close and test your investigation skills by identifying real meteorites in our old and very old rock challenge. Can you top the leader board?

Virtual Reality

Step into new worlds and interact with amazing avatars, medical training simulations and journeys through the human body to the thrill of riding a roller coaster – hold on to your hats!

Quantum Corner and Graphene Wonders

What happens when you explore materials that are unimaginably small? Discover one-atom-thick graphene, and step into the Quantum Corner to learn how we create the next generation of materials by spinning, throwing, or firing atoms in a light-cube simulation. See how both are already making an impact in the real world.
