Free drop-in workshop at Oriel Science about how telescopes let us see deep into space and the solar system.
Oriel Science is running a workshop called Discovering the Universe on Saturday 7 November, and it's one of those things that keeps going long after the first date. It runs every Saturday through November — the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th — so you've got four chances to catch it across the month.
The session looks at how we can see deep into space and how the development of the telescope has let us investigate further and further into the solar system and beyond. It's a look at the tool that basically opened up the night sky, and how that process of seeing further out has changed what we know about the universe. It's a drop-in session, so you don't need to book ahead — you just turn up when it suits you.
Oriel Science is a science centre and registered charity that brings science to the community through exhibits, workshops and talks. They draw on research from Swansea University and other institutions to show how science, technology and innovation shape everyday life, and they work to inspire school students to become the next generation of scientists, technicians and engineers. This workshop is one of their free, drop-in sessions, which they run all year round for visitors of all ages, so it's as much for kids as it is for adults.
