  • Have a go at extracting DNA
  • Get up close to fossils and bones with the Dinosaur Experience
  • Dig for bones in the archaeogenetics sandpit
  • Have a go at 3D printing
  • Discover the facts and fiction of the super rats
  • Try and master the maze
  • Build a railway locomotive and compete to be the fastest
  • Make your own 3D hologram

On the night, the 3M BIC will host Team HARE, the University of Huddersfield’s Formula Student Team and Team HAWK, the University’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAE) Challenge Team in the Atrium, as well as provide virtual reality (VR) demonstrations using drone simulations on the Centre’s Oculus Rift.

The European Researchers’ Night project is funded by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions.
