Every year since the first event in 2000 (pictured below) we have held workshops for schoolchildren which have taught exciting science in an enthralling way. Feedback from teachers has been excellent and in most years we have been obliged to turn some schools away due to being over-subscribed. Usually, each all-day session has places for 60 children. They are divided into three groups of 20 and take part in three activities in turn. Past activities have included:

This popular programme returns for its tenth year to
celebrate National Science & Engineering Week.
This programme is suitable for Year 5 & 6 pupils. They will enjoy a day of practical workshops and a boat trip along the Regent's Canal. In one workshop they will find out how the Islington tunnel was built on the canal and build model tunnels. In the second workshop they will find out why boats float and how to measure the amount of cargo on boats. The day covers aspects of the KS2 science curriculum Sc4 Forces and Motion as well as parts of the history curriculum focussing on the local area.
There is space for a maximum of 60 pupils and at least 8 adults each day.
From 10.00 a.m. to 2.15 p.m. (approximately).
