We celebrate the magic of inventions: yours, ours and Trevor Baylis’s. Roll up your sleeves and play. Build your own spectrometers using a CD & kitchen roll tube. Team Robomods and BuildBrighton join forces to bring drawings to life in ‘The Wonderful World of the Kinect Beyond Xbox’. Print yourself out in 3D. Try the flashy Colour Sharing Zombie Badge. Make your very own hybrid Frankenstein ‘Toys ARRRRGH! Us’ creation. See what makes a toy tick by ripping it apart. Invensys Eurotherm presents The Engineering Olympics. Ian Watts lurks with the Scrap heap Challenge killer robots.
Meanwhile, Trevor Baylis, inventor of the wind-up radio, tells tales of his life in a world where people started by dismissing his inventions and ended by trying to steal them. Jonathan Hare shares some funny, inspiring and perhaps perception-changing stories from his own experience of science, and professor Alison Bruce explains the latest developments at the University of Brighton’s nuclear structure physics group. A packed evening.
