About this Event
In this workshop with John Davies and Rob Swinney of the Initiative for Interstellar Studies, maths, science and engineering come together to show how humankind can reach the outer solar system and travel beyond that to the stars.
Using the work of three great thinkers, Al-Khwarizmi, Newton and Tsiolkovsky, participants will use scientific and mathematical concepts to work out all manner of things from how fast a skateboard travels to and practical results with rocket balloons, to how long it will take to fly to distant stars. A truly astronomical day!
This workshop is strictly for 12 - 14 year-olds.
Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
