About this event
Holiday workshops: How things get carried away (Year 10 - 13) is part of the Holiday workshops programme at the Royal Institution in London.
Why does a ball move the way it does when thrown? What carries a rubber duck across an ocean? And what do the two have to do with each other? This hands-on workshop is an introduction to fluid dynamics: the mathematics of how things move through air and water.
What to expect:
- Friday 30 October 2026, 14:15 to 16:30
- Live demonstrations and some mathematical tinkering, exploring the forces that govern fluid flow
- Participants discover how mathematicians model the physical world around them
- For children in the school year group named in the title; the Ri says this "typically corresponds to children aged around 14–18 years old", and it reserves the right to refund or deny entry to those outside it
- The page lists the ticket price as "£40.00"
