Event information
Visit the Whipple museum to take part in a series of curious adventures.
Participants are invited to craft light rays on a twenty first century Newton themed orrery, sculpt with colour at 1/10th scale, explore the intricacies of RGB surface reflection and track the effect of sunlight on a light reactive sculptural work over the twelve hours of the Equinox.
Budding scientists in the room can also explore the evolutionary principles of radial and bilateral symmetry with mirrors - and consider what happens to starlight when we all close our eyes with the question of the orange in a light tight box.
An additional array of technical equipment facilitates a closer look at how we experience colour in our day to day lives. Suitable for all ages and interests. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
This is a drop in activity so no booking is required, although please be prepared to wait a little while if things get busy!
