Saturday 23 May 10am, Chapel Street Arts Centre DE1 3GU

Suitable for ages … | Adult supervision required 

Award-winning engineer turned bestselling author Roma Agrawal makes STEM accessible, intriguing and aspirational, and encourages children to be endlessly curious about the ‘things’ that make up our world. 

Technology and engineering surround us. From HUGE things, like spaceships and skyscrapers, to much smaller things like the toaster in our kitchen and the shoes on our feet. But all of these things only exist because of seven small inventions: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and ... string. And each of these inventions has a fascinating story to tell. 

Probably best known for her work on London’s Shard, Roma encourages children to put some unexpected materials to the test. It’s the perfect way to get kids excited about science - whilst having a WHOLE load of fun!
