An active, hands on and engaging science drop in session in the Spanish Barn at Torre Abbey.
Have you ever wondered what sound looks like, how a rocket works, or what's inside your body?
Cambridge Hands-On Science will be at Torre Abbey with a team of friendly Cambridge students to answer these questions and more with fun, hands-on science experiments!
Come along any time between 11:00 - 16:00 on Saturday 29th July.
CHaOS was born out of our first Summer Roadshow in 2002…
…though our origins go back as far as the Cambridge Student Science Week Group set up by students including Anthony James and Julian Huppert in 1998. In 2002, Sarah Crisp and Dave Ansell led the team that launched our first summer roadshow to Dorset and Devon. The rest, as they say, is history. Since then we have grown considerably – we now get to enjoy seven weeks in July and August each Summer taking our roadshow all over the country to schools, museums, libraries, halls, festivals, jamborees and more.
WHO ARE WE?
We are Cambridge Hands-On Science, better known as CHaOS! CHaOS is a student-run science outreach group based at the University of Cambridge and we believe that learning about science should be fun and accessible to everyone. Our aim is to share our enthusiasm for science with people up and down the country, so we take our wide range of hands-on science experiments and a host of student volunteers to schools and public events, showing our visitors that all areas of STEM can be interesting, relevant, and, most importantly, fun!
We are a keen team of undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Cambridge who love sharing what we know about the Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine or Computer Science that we study!
WHAT HAPPENS AT OUR EVENTS?
Our events feature a number of exciting hands-on demonstrations, designed to get you thinking about science as you explore the coolest things about our world, and each led by a friendly demonstrator. The demonstrations are particularly aimed at children and families
