“The science of snow” is an interactive exhibit that starts by illustrating how snowflakes form and ends with a unique snowflake postcard to take away. The snowflakes can then be used in arts and crafts projects.

The aim of the exhibit is to expose the beauty of nature, leads to greater appreciation and understanding. Everyone knows that snowflakes are unique – but why? By growing your own snowflake, manipulating the modelled environmental conditions; it becomes obvious that each snowflake is different because each travels through differing environmental conditions.

If you’re interested in having the exhibit at your school for a day, please get in contact with me at matt

I’m looking for a school to be a partner in bringing my ‘near space’ project to reality!nearspacepicWe’d need to raise about £1000 and have about 12 children between 12 and 16 to work with for 30 hours. All the details are in the near space proposal.

SAUCE project progressing well!

The wind turbines project has been going really well. Every time I run the workshop I get it that bit closer to my idea of a ‘perfect’ workshop; fun, creative, experiential, a great learning environment. I’m getting better at coaching the children through the process and really encouraging the learning through failure attitude.
