Hi everyone,
I can't resist replying to let you all know that I'm helping with a Fun Palaces event in Burgess Park, Southwark, south London and I hope those of you with small children will bring them along!
They've got a general theme of machines that fly - zeppelins and rockets. I'm helping with the rockets part - I'll be teaching you how to make honeycomb panel (which satellites use), multi-layer insulation (that blanket thing that covers Apollo and Hubble) and hopefully a parachute (with bin liners and string). None real - all home crafts, etc (bring the nets from your bags of onions or oranges if possible, please....) but I'm making information leaflets on the science and engineering involved as well as how to make them. I'll also be bringing some Society for Popular Astronomy articles I've written.
The link is here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fun-palaces-at-the-old-library-part-of-the-zeppelin-1917-festival-tickets-37619343469?aff=es2 but there's actually no need to register for the Fun Palace; just come along to the library at the edge of Burgess Park any time between 1 and 3.
It would be lovely if a few of you could make it and/or spread the word.
Thanks so much!
Alice
