Cambridge Hands On Science are coming to our children's library! CHaOS is a student-run science outreach group based at the University of Cambridge who aim to share their enthusiasm for science! We will have a wide range of hands-on science experiments to show that all areas of STEM can be interesting, relevant, and, most importantly, fun for all the family!
You might build and walk across your own arch bridge, watch us extract DNA from a kiwi or even test out our spinny chair! And, of course, we can’t forget Boris, our friendly plastic skeleton, who travels round with us as our mascot and helps us teach visitors about what’s inside the human body.
CHaOS has no age limits! We aim to make our events fun and informative, which makes them great for all ages. We try to tailor our demonstrations to our visitors. We want younger children to see our experiments and think they’re amazing, to get involved and play with the effects we’re demonstrating. For older children, we’re also there to teach the science underlying the fun, and even to talk about university or studying science in school.
Our primary aim is to get children, whatever their age, to engage with the science we’re showing them however they want to, and to learn something cool in the process!
