Be Curious was held yesterday (Saturday) across the University of Leeds campus and featured a range of interactive activities designed by researchers.
The free event was packed with hands-on experiments and eye-opening discoveries for families to get involved with.
Lessons on biology, chemistry and physics were all at hand as fun events for children of all ages.
Speaking before the event, Professor Shearer West, Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Leeds, said: “We aim to spark curiosity, inspire children and create meaningful connections between research and the wider world.”
