WHAT, WHY & HOW?

This lively session will engage the audience with plenty of interaction and lots of discussion whilst introducing some of the greatest moments of human discovery. A celebration of curiosity! Using a timeline that runs from the stone ages through to the present day, John will zoom in on some of the ideas that have changed the course of humanity which have often started with a simple question.

John has delivered countless talks and workshops to numerous children over the last 15 years, both in the UK and abroad, at, amongst others, the Oxford Literary Festival, London Zoo and the Edinburgh Science Festival. He has recently organised the Hull City-Wide Quiz for schools.


  • Greenwood Library: Friday 7th August, 2:45 - 3:45pm
