Open City Research - Summer specials

From Quantum computing to Bio-engineering we've got a series of special events in the Test-Lab this summer.

Our research partners will be coming down to join us and you can get involved with some exciting real-life research.

All events are included in your day ticket.

What if you could plant a seed and grow a chair? Join researchers to explore and share your thoughts on the future of objects living, non-living and somewhere in between. Activity is drop in between 11am and 1pm.

Tues 25 Aug: Quantum computing  

How could the invisible world of quantum phenomena change our lives in future? What exactly is quantum entanglement and what does it have to do with computers? Explore these questions and more with this drop-in activity between 11am and 1pm.

Fri 28 Aug: Multisensory design challenge
