A NINE-metre Skybolt space rocket, flight simulator, DNA workshop and dressing up as an astronaut were some of the attractions on offer at Bradford Science Festival’s Science Saturday yesterday.
The free event saw about 5,000 people go to the University of Bradford as young science buffs got a closer look at many different areas of the subject. Workshops, including a crystallography masterclass and the chemistry of jelly and ice-cream, were also held at the Richmond Road site.
Children could also get up close to animals such as snakes and spiders.
Mark Careford, of Baildon who attended with his son Jamie, six, said: “It’s fantastic, the kids love it.
“It’s really interesting.”
