About this event
How to build a chocolate bridge (family) is part of the public programme at the Royal Institution in London.
As an engineer on The Shard, Roma Agrawal knows steel and concrete are the master materials for the big pieces of a structure. But what happens if you throw all sense out of the window and use completely the wrong material - gummy bears for a swimming pool, meringue for rocket insulation, chocolate for a bridge? Through those whacky combinations she reveals how materials really work.
What to expect:
- Saturday 7 November 2026, 2.30pm to 3.45pm; doors open at approximately 2.15pm for a prompt start
- A theatre event for children and adults to enjoy together - the Ri recommends its family talks for children aged 7 to 13
- All young people under 13 must be accompanied by a paying adult; children aged 4 and above need their own ticket
- Ticket prices on the page: "Theatre audience: £16/£10, Ri Members or Ri Patrons: £7. Eventbrite booking fees not included."
