The Discovery Lab is a spaceship, and home to travelling aliens Kela, Orchi and Amar on an earth exploration mission. They are deeply invigorated by earth science, be it plants, bugs and clouds, why things float or the pH of lemon juice.
Don't worry, they come in peace!
The aliens are perpetually in search of new discoveries, because it's discoveries that power their spaceship. Without that, they're stuck. And they don't like staying in one place for too long.
They're keen to make discoveries with you, the Earth Experts. So pop along to their pop-up lab to investigate, explore, think and discover!
The Discovery Lab is a blend of improvised theatre and in-role hands-on science facilitation. It's ideal for families with children aged 6+.
