Educational charity Exeter Science Centre is hosting a day of hands-on satellite science for kids of all ages on Saturday 15 February at Emmanuel Hall.
Activities will include a microscopy safari, a chalkboard mural, virtual reality explorations and explanations of the ways satellites help monitor our planet using infrared cameras, radar and lasers.
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 network of global-issue focussed science centres in the South West including new centres in Exeter and Barnstaple.
Emmanuel Hall has been the permanent home of Theatre Alibi, which has been producing work for children and families for over 30 years, since 1982.
It has also become the temporary home of St Thomas Library.
Our World from Space takes place from 10am-4pm on Saturday 15 February 2025 at Emmanuel Hall.
The event is suitable for all ages. There will be a pop-up cafe selling hot and cold drinks and treats.
