Aged 7+ years? Have an interest in science? Enjoy getting creative with words? If you tick these boxes, this session could be for you.

Join Wendy from Daresbury Laboratory and Dan Worsley, children’s author and storyteller as they collaborate to create an extraterrestrial event that mixes science fact and science fiction.

Prepare to believe the unbelievable as Dan takes you on an interplanetary journey using his mind-boggling storytelling skills. Alien adventures await as Dan weaves his story magic, models his writing and sets up a creative writing opportunity for the children to take on. Dan will then hand over his storytelling waistcoat to any budding storytellers willing to share their stories.

Wendy’s spectacular scientific knowledge will stretch your mind and transport you to another dimension without leaving the venue. Witness heat sensors in action, hear about incredible projects and see stunning images from space through visual and practical demonstrations. An out-of-this world visual experience!
