Bring the family to the Albert Halls Family Day for a fun day of activities.Powering the Future – Glasgow Science Centre
All ages; 12:00-16:00
Energy underpins our modern lives but there are difficult choices to be made about how we will supply and use energy in the future. Is our energy affordable, secure and environmentally sustainable? As you explore these interactive hands-on exhibits, you can explore our energy options – from how we can produce electricity and fuels to how we can be smarter with our use of energy. What would you do?
The Power of Pedalling & Trees For Goals
Age 10+ 12:00 – 16:00
In this interactive session, pedal our generator bike to create enough electricity to power an LED tower! This hands-on experience sparks ideas around smarter energy use and the opportunities for sustainable energy in your life. You can also learn about our Trees for Goals project, an initiative where football clubs engage with climate action through planting trees, which has positive impacts such as increasing flood resilience and biodiversity. Finally, explore the Tree Equity Map to see how your community can better adapt to our changing climate.
