Other Activities & Displays
Astronomy (Room H04) Sidereal has been working since last year to refurbish and automate the observatory at Staughton Vale, and that process is nearly finished. When complete, the observatory will be run remotely, with no humans needing to be on-site at night.
Staughton Vale (Room H05): Come along and see the workings of the Staughton Vale Campus, with displays of fresh produce and a student lead project.
Mathematics (H107): Engage with problem-solving and puzzles.
Technology (H106): Hands-on tech activities.
Junior School Science (H104): Test your coding skills. Be challenged to work out the secret code word when you have completed the activities.
Science (Labs): Fun with experiments and demonstrations.
