There will be lots of working models to play with, or to make and take away afterwards. Friends, families and STEM ambassadors welcome.

6:45pm to 7:30pm - Chance for children to try some model making.
7:30pm to 8:30pm - Talk followed by questions and answers.
8:30pm - Younger guests can leave.
8:30pm to 9:00pm Chance for adults to make some more models!
