Young Scientist!

On Wednesday we went to the young scientist in the RDS. 

When we arrived we went into a circus-like tent to watch a robot show. The show was a bit weird but very impressive. There was a robot called scelly who was a skeleton robot and climbed up a tight rope! Then they had robot wars with some of the most famous robots in the world judging. The Dalek from doctor who was my favorite.

Unfortunately we lost a member of our party during the exhibition so we spent a lot of our time looking for her instead of seeing all the exhibitions. Luckily we found her located at the end with other girls, apparently she got a bit distracted with all the freebies! We had a quick look at all the projects and they were all really impressive. Some of them were unusual like does music effect the shape of spiders webs- how did they even come up with that!

My highlight of the event was the talk about space in the concert hall. We all got 3D  glasses and we got to see a presentation on our universe. A man from the European space organisation was narrating it. He showed us the real shape of the earth without water which looked quite funny and the size of the sun in comparison to other one which made it look like a tiny speck! He also informed us about how they are investigating if there is life on mars at the moment. The talk was  fascinating, working as an astronaut must be a really cool job.
