🧱 What can LEGO teach us about the world’s population? 🌍

At the Southampton Science & Engineering Festival, we’re turning colourful bricks into maps! Families can explore how scientists estimate populations, map communities, and plan resources through fun, hands-on activities.

If you’re in or around Southampton on Saturday, 14/03 - come build a population map with us!

Build a Population Map with LEGO at the Southampton Science & Engineering Festival 

Build LEGO maps and explore how scientists study where people live at the Southampton Science & Engineering Festival. Join the WorldPop team for a hands-on activity where families can create population maps with LEGO and try estimating village populations using satellite imagery. Discover how geography and data help plan schools, healthcare and other essential services.

Entstanden sind auch wieder sechs großformatige und bunte #RoboPicasso-Kunstwerke, die wir dann an die Besucher*innen der #PERSPEKTIVEN-Messe verschenkt haben, natürlich nur echt mit dem originalen RoboPicasso-Stempel und einer Signatur von der Veranstaltung.

For Australia #NationalScienceWeek (last week) Tabea and I visited 4 schools in the Cairns, Queensland region: Mossman State School, St Mary's Catholic College, Mourilyan State School, and Hambledon State School. For the Wonder of Science program, we helped 200+ students with their science challenge tasks.

Project groups from each class will present their projects at the Wonder of Science Cairns Regional Conference in October.
