The Brighton Science Festival aims to bring the best science in the world to Brighton with a month of events throughout February. On the weekend of the 11/12th February over 3000 people visited Hove Park School for the Bright Sparks event and the CDT was there to greet them with the largest science display on show. As soon as children and adults were through the door the CDT caught their attention with our Eel Tile display and explained how it works as an innovative solution to the worldwide problem of migrating large eels and very small elvers. We also covered Beaver reintroduction with audiences loving the skull, pelt and gnawed twigs on display. With advanced science through to colouring Beavers there was something for all ages. We hope that many of the children we engaged with over the weekend – and who came up with such interesting questions for our researchers – will keep on questioning and go on to carry out their own research in the years to come.
