Exeter Science Centre is presenting its 2023 climate exhibition from Wednesday 6 to Sunday 10 September at Maketank.

The exhibition includes talks, hands-on activities and virtual reality experiences focussed on climate modelling, which helps to understand the climate on other planets as well as the earth.

It follows an Exeter Science Centre exhibition held in March last year, and coincides with the British Science Festival which is being held this year at the University of Exeter.

The exhibition has been redesigned and updated with new content and research in collaboration with the University of Exeter, the Met Office and other local organisations, schools and community groups.

Exeter Science Centre Climate Exhibition Wednesday 6 to Sunday 10 September Maketank

Exeter Science Centre is an educational charity dedicated to informing and inspiring the public about science.

It was founded by Natalie Whitehead, who completed her PhD in physics at the University of Exeter in 2019, and Alice Mills, who has a PhD in astrophysics from Durham University and was Science Outreach Officer at the university until 2020.

Its long-term aim is to create a STEAMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths and Medicine) centre in Exeter.
