Guest Lecturer
It is our pleasure to announce that Prof Sheila Widnall from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be delivering 3 lectures
on the development of aeronautics and where the future lies in this
exciting ‘space’.
These lectures promise to immerse
attendees in the thrilling 'space' of aerospace innovations and
advancements. Join us for this enlightening experience and gain a
deeper understanding of where technology and ambition can propel us
in the ever-expanding realm of aeronautics.
Don’t miss
this opportunity to connect with one of the luminaries of aerospace
science and deepen your understanding of this exciting field!
Night in the Museum
Get your family together for an exciting night in the museum as you
sleep over beside dinosaurs and science displays. Bring your own
sleeping bag and get ready to rough it as we go exploring the
wonders of science. This is what you can expect:
Guided Night Tours: Explore the museum's exhibits
in a new light with exclusive after-hours tours that reveal secrets
and stories of the past.
Science Demonstrations: Engage with hands-on
experiments and live demonstrations that make science come alive in
exciting ways.
Dinosaur Encounter: Learn about the giants of the
Mesozoic era with up-close encounters and expert talks from our
paleontologists.
Stargazing Session: Cap off the night by gazing at the stars through
telescopes, weather permitting.
This family-oriented
event is designed to spark curiosity and wonder, providing both
children and adults with a deeper appreciation for the mysteries of
science and natural history.
Energetica Exhibition
On loan from the NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam, the Energetica
exhibition is coming to the Community Science Museum. It’s a series
of installations that allow visitors to experience the power of the
elements as we harness them. From solar energy powering lighting, to
‘Wind Island’ that shows how turbines are able to use and control
wind to create power. This is what you can expect:
Solar Spectacle: Marvel at how solar panels
capture the sun’s energy, powering an array of lights and
interactive displays. Learn about the science of photovoltaic cells
and see real-time energy generation in action.
Wind Island: Experience the force of wind through
our immersive 'Wind Island' installation. Stand amidst powerful
turbines and discover how we can harness, convert, and store wind
energy to power our lives.
Hydro Power Hub: Dive into the world of water power
as you interact with models that mimic rivers and oceans, showcasing
the technology behind hydroelectric power and tidal energy.
Energy Lab: Participate in hands-on experiments and
activities that let you generate your own energy and understand the
engineering behind energy-efficient technologies.
Don't miss this enlightening exploration of how we can harness the
power of the elements to create sustainable energy solutions.
