Join Lancaster's scientists in a celebration of LGBTQ+ scientists, with lots of fun activities for the whole family!
From 10am-3pm in the Main Hall, academics from across the University (alongside industry partners and local groups) will be hosting a range of fun, family-friendly activities to engage young people in science and celebrate the contributions of LGBTQ+ scientists to their respective fields. Activities will include:
- A crash course in coding with the BBC Micro:bit
- Building hydrogen cars
- Creating your own density rainbow
- Arts and crafts with Queer By Gum
- DIY flower dyeing
- Queer bookmark colouring (and bookshop) courtesy of Bent Spines
- Meet real-life scientists working in industry
- "Snap Circuit" circuit boards
We will also be running a series of talks on LGBTQ+ themes alongside the activity hall, suitable for people aged 16+. Please book these talks separately!
This is an inclusive event, and we welcome everyone to join.
