Hooray! Today begins the annual Cambridge Science Festival! Two weeks of wondrous adventures into the magical world of science. It’s not really magical at all – it’s entirely based on physical principles – but, as they say, any sufficiently advanced technology…
Do come down and explore! Highlights include the ever popular Dr Pete Wothers making things explode under the guise of chemistry, while the Naked Scientists will be patrolling the lecture theatres with a heap of fun demonstrations about…um…snot. Don’t miss the Engineering Department’s contribution, Build A Hovercraft. Always a popular attraction down at the University Centre, Dr Joy Warde’s creative outreach ideas vary from year to year. Previous forays into the world of imprecision engineering include Crane Construction and Rocket Car Design. A must-see. You might even run into some CUER-ites helping out…
For the bonus point, keep your eyes peeled for Carol Vorderman, a Cambridge engineering alumnus!
