SCIENCE BUSKING

Informal, interactive and fun ways of getting people to think about the way our brains interpret the world

​

Made from cheap and easy-to-find household objects, such as string, ear defenders and chicken wire, science busking tricks are simple ways of getting people to engage with science. 

​

Over the years, Ignite! has developed different science busking tricks which we take out onto the streets to engage the public with informal science learning. They are a great way of catching people's attention at events and allowing people to experience how the brain interprets the world and our senses in a way that makes you go 'oooh!'.
