About this Event
The Shape of Water
How much water does it take to survive on Mars? Less than one elephant drinks in four days. That's the kind of question our C'mere friend, Niamh Shaw explorer and analogue Mars astronaut has had to answer for real.
Niamh has lived on rationed water in a Mars simulator, tracked penguins across the Antarctic, and been swum at by a hungry polar bear in the Arctic. Now she's bringing it all to Science Week.
The Shape of Water is a wild, funny, hands-on adventure for families. Watch ice melt in real time. Find out who copes better with the cold — you or a penguin. Try the blubber glove challenge. Meet the animals who've cracked survival tricks humans haven't. And hear real stories from the ice, the desert, and a simulated Mars mission, told by someone who's actually been there.
Big questions, brilliant facts, real adventure. Bring the kids, and your sense of wonder!
