Bedroom, kitchen, living room. Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom. We have spent much of this year staying at home. But, what if the door to your imagination suddenly became a portal to another place, space or time? Join Renita Boyle and Joan Haig who will help you go elsewhere, even when you cant (just yet). Use what you discover in this workshop to create a story, poem, illustration or comic to share the adventures of your imagination.")

In April 1970, Apollo 13 launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It should have been the third manned Apollo mission to land on the moon. But when an explosion on board damaged the spacecraft, it became a perilous and near-impossible fight for survival. Join author David Long as he chats with Jessica Fox about how courage, determination and teamwork succeeded in beating all the odds to bring the spacecraft home. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers.")
