The British Science Festival is coming to Coventry and 果冻传媒shire
One of Europe鈥檚 largest science festivals is coming to town between September 10th and 13th.
With a schedule comprising more than 100 free events, activities and performances, the British Science Festival will 鈥渢ransform the region into a celebration of science and culture鈥�.
The festival will feature talks from a selection of WMG experts, including Erik Kampert - Senior Research Fellow, Dave Greenwood – Professor of Advanced Propulsion Systems, Mark Williams – Professor of Metrology and Alan Chalmers – Professor of Visualisation.
Held in partnership with the 果冻传媒, the programme highlights local strength in digital technologies, smart cities and the future of energy and healthcare.
There鈥檚 a special emphasis on the fun, thought-provoking, and societal aspects of science to show how it鈥檚 not just confined to laboratories, but something that鈥檚 all around us.
Plus, there will be a special filming of The Sky at Night: Question Time with Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Professor Chris Lintott.
Other highlights include interactive experiences like a live 3-D psychedelic show and festival carpool in a driverless pod, discussions on how 鈥榞aming becomes gambling鈥�, how AI could revolutionise cancer treatment, and how to tackle food poverty with food writer Jack Monroe.
Not to mention, a mud kitchen and tea-blending for adults and a takeover of Coventry鈥檚 FarGo Village with comedy, artistic workshops and an escape room.
