EDT at the Big Bang Fair 2009
The Big Bang is the UK’s first national fair celebrating young people’s achievements in science and engineering. It will take place from the 4th to 6th March 2009, just prior to National Science and Engineering Week, at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Westminster, London.
EDT have teamed up with Imagineering to run a hands-on hydraulics workshop at the fair. Hydraulics for frolics is a team challenge - students will be asked to build their own hydraulic controlled arm and gripper with an exciting competition at the end of the session.
Hydraulics for frolics is taking place on Wednesday 4th March at 12.15, 13.45 and 15.05. Schools can find out more and register for the workshop on The Big Bang Fair website www.thebigbangfair.co.uk
