CHaOS student volunteers will be running a series of talks filled with exciting demonstrations. Come along for even more crashes, bangs and squelches, and to learn about all sorts of weird and wonderful science!

Make sure you guarantee yourself a seat by claiming a ticket. Each parent and child needs a separate ticket. A few drop-in spaces will also be available. All talks last approximately 30 minutes.

Additionally, CHaOS will be running exciting hands-on experiments from all areas of science. We’ll have around 50 different experiments, each of which will be demonstrated by a friendly student volunteer.

CHaOS will also be running several workshops on robotics, with lots of hands-on design and programming. Absolutely no experience is required, as we’ll teach you all the basics so that you can start making our robots do all sorts of amazing things in no time at all.
