 Getting hands-on with the Science of Light. These young visitors to the Scottish Parliament participate in just one of the interactive children's workshops taking place over the month of April. The activities are part of a major exhibition about lasers, which the Parliament is hosting as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. The theme is the incredible power of light and it's all free of charge. I've been in the laser lab zone and I've been using UV pins and I was writing a code and I started writing the periodic table. I also have to glue the bottom on and put the LED light in, which you probably can't see. The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday and our interactive children's workshops will be taking place during the school holidays and on weekends, featuring everything from alien lights to illuminating lanterns. It's fun for all the family to see girls at the Scottish Parliament. I think it's really good so far. I think it's like everything if you teach something in a really interesting way that kids will really enjoy it and particularly for girls in science I think that's really important because I just don't think there's many girls again to science as there should be. Evenings also feature talks aimed at older science enthusiasts visitors can enjoy a space-age snack in our Café Science Laboratory. I would say that it was very good and that you should come because you would learn a lot. The incredible power of light runs through the month of April. Access to the exhibition and all associated events are free. You can find out more on our website and join the conversation on social media.
