SciTech Extravaganza invites families to enjoy a day filled with fun science-themed activities and shows, new skill-building opportunities and the chance to experience the magic of Alderley Park.

Activity highlights of the day include a programme of interactive shows shining a spotlight on ‘Super Cells in collaboration with the Royal Institution (Ri). Each interactive show, delivered by Ri presenters, will dive deep into the science of cells showing how bacteria and viruses “invade our bodies” and what we can do to fight back. The shows will be delivered in a fun and engaging style; with three shows taking place across the day:

10:30 – 11:15: Student Show 1 – KS1

12:15 – 13:00: Student Show 2 – KS2

14:15 – 15:00: Community Show

Balloon scientist, and Britain's Got Talent star - David Crofts, will be hosting workshops, teaching children all about elasticity, aerodynamics, pressure, static electricity and many other topics, all whilst creating larger than life balloon art for attendees to admire. Smaller balloon masterpieces will be available for children to take home.

For those looking to enhance their young tech skills, crumble coding sessions and simple introductions to computing will be hosted by Cheshire based STEM workshop creators, Skill Supply. They will have 3 activities running simultaniously, 4 times throughout the day:
