The Festival of Stuff

Time1pm
DateTonight

Annual event filled to the brim with making madness, hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations at the Institute of Making Stratford. In honour of UCL’s bicentenary, for this year's Festival of Stuff, they’re exploring the theme of measurement. Play with perception, test your timing and curate your calculation skills with a range of hands-on activities, from bespoke guesstimation games to scale model making. The Festival will explore a range of measurement-related activities, with opportunities for you to try your hand at inlaying ancient bog oak, making decorative chain and dipping birthday candles. Get up close and personal (and high!) in a scissor lift, delve into mini microscopic worlds, and learn about the recording of time through fossils, accompanied by the complex rhythms of Taiko Japanese drummers.
