What you'll do

Join us to explore and celebrate how our brains think, explore and imagine. In these family events, come and celebrate the diversity of our brains and through a range of activities, understand how we all differ in how we like like to think, learn and explore. Through coding, virtual reality, circuits and sound orchestras, pop-up performances, making and tinkering with immersive environments, you'll exploring the mind through your senses, body, movement and emotions.

On the Friday session, the BBC’s CAPE crusaders will join in for an Our Brains and Our Futures session. Explore everyday challenges in new and unexpected ways; you may even discover your very own super power during the turbo charged future focused, fantastical making and creative problem solving extravaganza.
