The Cheltenham Science Festival Highlights (by sarah)
The Science festival was amazing - I just picked out the photos here that aren't going into their own write up about a specific event etc.... It was crazy and mad and informative and showed me just how valuable science communication is!
There was the normal fun circus stuff - lovingly science themed 🙂
This rather elegant dude reminds me of someone? 😉
Mary loved exploring.
Ok so mainly it was running off but excited running off.
She did grudgingly come back when I started counting.
I found a random hospital trolly outside one of the venues!
I found a BBC dude with random props wondering around a little lost so I photographed him and then found him the place he needed to be 🙂
I found a ferret!
I don't think it was with the festival but was someone walking their pet - it was funny because one of the suggestions Al had given me for getting more people to fill in the highly important research questionaire was that I should find a ferret!
Unfortunately I just missed him filling the bag with stuff from the hydrant can - but oooo random stuff at a festival - really?
Once more aliens seemed to have taken up residence on the roof of the town hall!
Thursday the kids came and joined me after school - they all loved the explosions bit run by the BBC.
When we first arrived Mary was over awed and just kept saying WOW! and Ooooo 🙂
Jean and her friends found the racing car simulator 🙂
She rather liked it even if she did keep crashing!
Dad found an old sports car with gears and things inside it 🙂
See cogs!
It was rather a nice car
The kids made LED torches 🙂
They were all just so excited 🙂 Mum found knitting and Al and Andy found robots - it was brilliant 🙂

Oh no! I think we missed it last year which was a shame they always have such a lot of activities!
