About this Event

Join science writer Dr Letizia Diamante and her new character, Diva the Duck, for a lively workshop packed with scientific facts and incredible secrets.


Inspired by her new book, The Science and Secrets of Cambridge, this hands-on session takes families on a time-travelling adventure to learn about the city’s most fascinating landmarks and scientific discoveries.


Participants will solve fun activities, decode clues and meet some of the most brilliant (and slightly quirky) minds who changed the world right here in Cambridge!


Signed books will be available to buy.


Please only book tickets for participating children. An accompanying adult will need to be present throughout the workshop, but will not need a ticket.
