Storybook adventure for budding scientists

On 7, 10 and 16 October, join Science Owl and Dr Renee for a free hands-on workshop for children aged four and above and their families, where reading meets creativity, imagination and invention.

Build the Story: Once Upon an Invention

The free sessions will begin by reading a picture book together, then explore a real-world environmental challenge inspired by the story.

With the help of Science Owl's scientists and engineers, you will design, build and test your own invention to see how your creation can help the planet! Spaces are limited, so booking is essential.
