Sundials: The Making of Time (and Other Measures) with Curiosity Workshops

It’s amazing what you can learn from a little adjustable stick on a flat surface. Many will be familiar with Sundials as an ancient clock, but did you know it can also be used

• As a compass?
• As a calendar?
• As a GPS system?

Unlocking the keys to this powerful pocket gadget requires insights that span astronomy, maths, languages and craft, taking a journey from ancient wisdom to the frontiers of contemporary knowledge and mysteries.

Afterall, that little adjustable stick isn’t called a gnomon - ‘one that knows’ - for nothing...
