British Science Week: Family Events Happening Near You

British Science Week starts today with events celebrating science across the UK. At Letterbox Lab will be celebrating science week by launching our Youtube channel on Monday 13th. Every day of the week we’ll be putting up a new video showing you a science experiment you can do at home with the kids.

But you shouldn’t just stay at home watching our videos when there are so many interesting science events happening. We’ve taken a look through the list and picked out some of the events for families up and down the UK that we thought looked interesting. Also, most of them are free!

If none of these are for you there are many more on their website https://www.britishscienceweek.org/events/

Or you can get involved with science at home with the Penguin Watch citizen science project. We love citizen science projects at Letterbox Lab. They allow you to help with real research projects from the comfort of your home and this one involves looking at pictures of penguins! You can find details here https://www.britishscienceweek.org/resource/penguin-watch-citizen-science-2/

Have a nice science week.
