Circuit Building with CSA Catapult
This is a live replay of the Circuit Building event from the 10th Feb.
You’re invited to join David Ansah and Iestyn Llyr, Embedded Software Engineers at CSA Catapult, to build your own lightbulb circuit, learn about the flow of electricity, where's the best place for the battery and how to measure voltage. We've also got a puzzle for parents: they'll be challenged to calculate your circuit's current.
David and Iestyn will reveal how their roles involve discovering what compound semiconductors can do and how they will transform future technology, in the applications we use every day. They will be joined by our HR Director, Clare Gunning who will introduce CSA Catapult’s STEM activities – these aim to help young people discover routes into engineering and tech.
We believe this activity is best suited to children up to age 12. If you’re looking for an interesting and educational activity to keep your young ones busy in lockdown – this event is for you! We look forward to seeing you there.

Gravitational Waves Panel Discussion - Meet the Experts
This is an online event
Meet the experts working on the detection of gravitational waves here at Cardiff University.
This panel discussion will cover a broad range of aspects of gravitational wave science and the technology used to detect them. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of the panel, and a recording will be made available to attendees after the event.
The event is aimed at 15+.

Large Hadron Collider underground visit
This is an online event
Five thousand physicists in 38 countries around the world participate in the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). When the LHC is in operation, up to 600 million protons collide every second inside the detector. ATLAS Virtual Visits gives the public a unique opportunity to be part of this great scientific adventure.
Come talk with an ATLAS physicist, receive an underground tour, and get answers to your questions.

Give me a second - practical science session
Can you make an accurate clock in about 20 minutes? Be guided by experts from the home of the UK's atomic clocks. You will need some string and a 30 cm ruler. This fun activity will get you thinking about measurement.
