Caractacas Pott’s Science Workshop

Attic
Caractacas Pott’s Science Workshop
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang would not have existed if the crazy inventor Caractacus Pott had not created the car for his children in his workshop. And Caractacus would not have existed if Ian Fleming had not created him in his children’s book he wrote in between his 007 James Bond thrillers.

 

In this workshop led by Science Wizards, young scientists get to see what happens when a magician pulls a tablecloth off a table, how to turn a glass of water upside down and not spill a drop, balance ping-pongs in the air with a hairdryer or see how a vitamin C tablet can fire up a rocket. There’ll be experiments and secrets revealed.White gowns and glasses provided but don’t forget to bring your crazy ideas! You never know if you are the next Caractacus Pott and you too can make your ideas fly!

This workshop is bought to us by the wonderful Science Wizards.
