Are you ready for the next session of
Lego lunacy and crafting craziness? If you love chemistry and science then our
Chemistry and Crystals event is for you!
When you think of flat screen TVs, interactive phones, laptops and
tablets do you ever think of Hull? Without the development of Liquid Crystal
Display technology none of these gadgets would have been made possible.
This month we discover how research at the University Hull in the 1970s made LCD technology possible and by doing so
changed out visual world!
For the Lego lovers out there we will be
recreating the university labs where this ground breaking research took place
and we will be building LCD gadgets.
We need the creative crafters amongst you
to help us make a giant liquid crystal collage by creating your own individual
pieces of artwork using photographs of actual liquid crystal.
And this month we also have some special
visitors from the University of Hull who will be showing us how to model molecules
with their fantastic molecular modelling kits. Our science team will also be on
hand to help answer all your chemistry questions!
So join us this Saturday, 6th June, at the Hull History Centre.
The fun starts at 9.30am but must end at
12.30 – don’t miss out!
