This talk will make you a scientist (family)

This talk will make you a scientist. Yes, YOU!
Join scientist and author Sheila Kanani as she introduces you to 25 inspiring scientists from throughout history. You may already know physicist Albert Einstein and astronaut Mae Jemison, but have you heard of volcanologist Katia Krafft or Tapputi-Belatekallim, the world’s first recorded chemist?
Combining fascinating facts with hands-on experiments and demonstrations, this super interactive and inspiring event will spark curiosity and creativity. Children will leave excited to use their imaginations — and ready to head home and create their very own experiments!
A copy of Sheila’s new book ‘This Book Will Make You a Scientist’ will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.

As with all our family theatre talks, this event is designed to be enjoyed by adults and children together. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult and those aged 4 and above need a ticket to attend.
