Bracknell

Enjoy The Bracknell Look Out Discovery Centre's exhibitionsWannabe scientists and keen learners should get down to The Bracknell Look Out Discovery Centre next week (from March 10) to celebrate national science week.

The Bracknell Look Out has organised special workshops which will run between March 12 and March 16 for pre-booked school children aged seven to 11 years old. They include presentations and creative design work as well as teaching the principles of flight.

There are some spaces left on the workshop and you can book by telephoning 01344 354400. The cost is £3 per child for the science week workshop and it lasts two and a half hours.

You can also pay an extra £2.50 to include entrance to the hands-on science exhibition at The Look Out. It is necessary to pre-book for the workshop.

National science week is an annual event held this year from March 10 to March 19. National science week is an opportunity for people of all ages to take part in science, engineering and technology activities.

The Bracknell Look Out Discovery Centre hosts special events each year. This year throughout Bracknell Forest school holidays and every weekend until May 7 there is also the new Spy Science show for budding James Bonds to learn about camouflage, taking fingerprints and hearing through solid walls!

The Spy Science show lasts approximately 40 minutes and show times are at 11am, 12noon, 2pm and 3.15pm. The cost of the show is £1.50 per person in addition to the normal exhibition admission charges.

Bracknell Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said: "I'd heartily recommend a visit to The Look Out at any time but particularly during National science week.

"It's not only a great venue but great value where children and adults can learn and play. With its five exciting hands-on zones, workshops and shows to teach about specific areas, there's something for everyone."
