Interactive science show using items you can find in and around the home.
The group divides into teams with each team given 100 IQ points to begin with, and, over a series of visually spectacular experiments, the aim is to build up as many points as possible. The teams must decide how confident they are in each prediction and risk their IQ points accordingly. The experiment is then carried out, with points awarded for correct answers. But beware, you could end up losing everything.
Science Show Off
Steve Cross 19:30 - 22:00
Recommended age 18+
Chancellors Bar, University of Surrey
An open mic night for science communicators.
Take a seat and prepare to be dazzaled as scientists themselves tell you in 9 minutes about what they love and why they love it. In the past we've had everything from live demos to comedy sets, videos to sketches and music to history lessons.
At this special open mic night you have the chance to get up there and tell an audience of like minded people why you do what you do and what you enjoy about science. For more information or to sign up to perform please visit www.scienceshowoff.org
