Grace's Green Gadgets

Grace's Green Gadgets comes to the National Waterfront Museum on Saturday 31 October, with two sessions to choose from: 10:30am and 12:30pm. It's a science activity for families, and the name tells you exactly what's on the table — gadgets that are green, meaning they're powered by something a bit kinder to the environment than the usual.

The session is led by Grace, who you might recognise from the CBeebies show Grace's Amazing Machines. On the show, she spends her time exploring some of the biggest, fastest and most impressive machines in the world, and for this, she brings that same curiosity into the room. She invites families into her electrical workshop to get a proper look at her 'Green Gadgets' — things that have wheels, are loads of fun and run on a method that's better for the planet. The whole point is to find out how they work, how they move and what makes them so amazing in the first place.

It's recommended for ages 6 to 99, so it's as much for the adults as it is for the kids — a good one to do together rather than just dropping the little ones off. The session also forms part of the Swansea Science Festival, which marks its 10th year this October, so it's one of several science-themed things happening across the city that month.

Tickets are £5 per person, and with two sessions on the same day, you can pick the time that fits your Saturday best. It's at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, and since it's a morning and midday thing, it's a handy one to slot in before the rest of your day gets away from you.
