Adventure Science
Showtimes: 11am, 1pm
An interactive adventure show that explores the science and technology behind the Anturus Expeditions. In this hour-long show, we take a look at the key ideas you need to survive an adventure in the outdoors. From staying warm with smart new textiles created by engineers to keep you dry, to removing microorganisms from water to make it safe to drink by using current technology also used in hospitals.
In this performance, Huw James will look at the sustainability advantages of eating bugs and the nutritional values for survival, and how to make sure you’re prepared for adventure! Field Scientists are some of the best adventurers, after this engaging science show perhaps you’ll want to be a science adventurer too! This event is suitable for children over the age of 10.
