Binaural relaxation film - Space for Relaxation

We The Curious 2022-10-10 | Since the first humans, we’ve felt a connection to the stars, dreaming of what might exist beyond our world. The stars, distant and eternal, are hypnotic. Looking towards them we allow our focus to drift - our sensitivity to the light slowly grows. The sky is set alight with a twinkling infinity.

In the modern world there are countless distractions that can sever this connection. With that in mind, we’ve created this ten minute relaxation aid. It joins calming space visuals with a bespoke binaural soundtrack created by musician Nick Bignall.

We recommend stereo headphones to fully enjoy the mesmerising effect of these calming space sounds. So, dim the lights, and find your Space for Relaxation.

This show was created on an Evans & Sutherland Digistar system.

Can you eat real food in space?

We The Curious 2022-10-04 | Astronauts have got to eat, right? But how exactly do astronauts cook in space and what might they eat?

As part of our ongoing ‘Hareclive in Space’ project with Bristol’s Room 13, the year 6 pupils of Hareclive E-Act academy have asked us another fantastically curious question: can we cook in space?

In this challenge, our Planetarium presenters Lydia and Paul will prepare a healthy, exciting meal whilst simulating the same conditions that would be faced by astronauts 420km above the Earth on the International Space Station.

What will they make? And will it be edible? Watch this fun challenge to find out!

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering – ‘how are meals are prepared in space’ – why not have a go at this challenge yourself? How would you cook a meal if everything in your kitchen was floating?

This could be an ideal fun space activity and science experiment for kids.

Many thanks to Room 13 for their support and expertise, to the Science and Technology Facilities Council for funding this project, and to Hayley Fick for sharing the benefit of her experience with us.

Presented by Lydia Johnston & Paul Cornish

6 tips for making amazing flipbooks

We The Curious 2022-03-18 | Flipbooks are amazing. Books of still images that look like they’re moving when flipped through. What could be simpler? And yet since the humble flipbook was patented in 1868, it’s paved the way for the invention of the films, TV, and computer games we know today.

Flipbooks are like animated movies you can carry in your pocket, and the best thing about them is they’re really easy to make. Learn how to make your own in this video!

We The Curious is opened a brand new exhibition in summer 2016 - The Tinkering Space! Aimed to inspire the inventor in us all, The Tinkering Space is for creators, inventors, dreamers and anyone who’ve ever wanted to have a go at making something. The Tinkering Space enables visitors to turn their ideas into something they can touch, design and modify, and even rebuild elements of the space itself.

Opened on 23 July, the permanent exhibition will include a ‘Baxter’ robot (the first in a UK science centre), two 3D printers, an air table for testing flying devices, Shadow Theatres, make-your-own ball runs, and more.

The Batteries of Orchards | Live from the Hive | We The Curious

We The Curious 2016-05-27 | Live from the Hive is an initiative from We The Curious, BeeBristol and University of Bristol that aims to engage people with the lives of honeybees through innovative use of technology and social media. The project has created the world’s first live tweeting honeybees triggered by real scientific data:
http://twitter.com/citybeehive
http://twitter.com/countrybeehive

Live from the Hive: City Beehive – youtu.be/Us8-bc20d40

Live from the Hive: Country Beehive – youtube.com/watch?v=jzbXwPDGEBo

From 28 May 2016, visitors to We The Curious will be able to take part in a new exhibit in an indoor greenhouse in the Food! exhibition to compare the behaviour of the two bee colonies (one on the roof of We The Curious!) in real time. It includes live webcam images of the bees, interactive graphs using live data including ‘bees per minute’, air quality, weather and wind, and also the latest tweets from the both of the beehives. Live from the Hive is also accessible online, from the At-Bristol website: http://at-bristol.org.uk/bees

This video was narrated and produced by Ross Exton.
Featuring a reading of Virgil’s Bees by Carol Ann Duffy, poet laureate, courtesy of Pan Macmillan publishing.

We’ll be releasing a video in a few months with some results from the study comparing our rooftop hive in the city, to that of the hive in the countryside. In the meantime, check out this fantastic video from our friends over at the Bristol Nature Channel:
