Sensing energy by Sarah Royston, Association for the Conservation of Energy. Through a series of sensory challenges (from taste-tests to sound quizzes), this exhibit invites you to think about how we understand energy in our homes using all five of our senses.
Money makes the world go round by Tim Hughes, University of Cambridge. An interactive game exploring the effects of the monetary system on inequality and the environment.
What right have you to decide? by Rosie Robison, Global Sustainability Institute. Take on the role of a doctor, politician or environmentalist and work to persuade others to your point of view regarding our right to use resources.
Is this landscape natural? by Tim Mitchell, artist. Undertake a visual literacy exercise with Tim’s beautiful landscape photographs, how carefully are you looking?

It is open to everyone, and we are particularly keen for teenagers and their families to come along.
