Eyes on the Universe
Half day workshops for 6 - 8 year olds: 'Eyes on the Universe' What's in space? Can we go there? Can we see it? How big is it? Is there anybody there? So many questions! Come and find out some of the answers by doing fascinating hands-on activities.

Scientists know alot about the Universe but there is also alot they don't know. This workshop will help you find out how scientists learn about the Universe, what is in the Milky Way, which is our own galaxy and what is beyond the Milky Way. We will be doing some make and take activities as well as finding out how we can see or maybe not see deep sky objects such as black holes!
Please note that the workshop is for children only. We actively encourage adults to leave their children with us unless they require one to one support.
