Teen Physics Playground: Reality vs. Perception

Together with science communicator Parker McLean, you will explore how perspective, expectation and the limits of our senses can shape what we observe. The session encourages the use of careful questioning and close observation as tools for understanding the world.

Bookings are essential as places are limited.

Through live demonstrations and over 30 interactive experiments, participants will examine motion, energy, light, sound and mechanical systems that appear to behave in unexpected ways.

There will be a Meet A Scientist Station hosting hands-on activities demonstrating their area of reserach.
