Experimental MumScience + Children = Fun + Mess

Techfest is September is an annual Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Festival held in Aberdeen. We’ve been a couple of times and always really enjoy it.

From 11-28th September they are hosting a fantastic range of topics. There are Family Shows, Evening Lectures and a Family Activity Weekend. The programme can be downloaded here  but here’s a wee taster of what’s on:

Family Shows

• Dr Bunhead You Tube’s True or False (we saw this at the Edinburgh Science Festival – it was excellent!)
• Visualise Reloaded: Live Science and Mischievous Theatre (with techno clowns?)

Evening Lectures

• Mathematics and Sex – discover how dating services work, and why there are only two sexes?
• Murder, Mystery and Microscopes – see behind the scenes and separate crime from fiction…

Family Activity Weekend

• Here the kids can explore the physics of the circus, make their own lighthouse or hold a rock from the moon and many, many more….
