Green Aeroplane Challenge: Manchester Science Festival event
26 Oct 2009
On 30 and 31 October at The Manchester Museum
Dr Mark Jabbal (School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering) has organised an event to take place at this year's Manchester Science Festival.
'Green Aeroplane Challenge' aims to get the public involved in making and launching 'green' paper aeroplanes. Participants can also find out how research at the university is developing technologies that will make aircraft 'greener'.
There will be a chance for those taking part in the paper aeroplane workshop to win prizes (kindly donated by the Community Relations Team at Manchester Airport).
The event runs on Friday 30 October and Saturday 31 October 2009 between 11am and 2pm at The Manchester Museum.
Green Aeroplane Challenge is part of the 2009 Manchester Science Festival which runs from 24 October to 1 November. The programme includes over 150 exciting science, technology, engineering and maths events for families and adults in venues across Greater Manchester.
Manchester Science Festival brings together universities, organisations and key cultural partners from across the region. The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) is the lead partner for the Manchester Science Festival, which is supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency and Siemens.
