Oxford science and ideas festival goes digital

There’s a free science and ideas festival that’s online and open to anyone. Over 100 educational events 1-31 October 2020 for people of all backgrounds to explore technology, art, science and society using dance, theatre discussions, film clubs, hands-on activities and more.

Families, teenagers and adults can connect from anywhere in the world to fuse the digital with physical and meet teams of scientists working on everything from the inner workings of the brain to the outer limits of space. One of the larger events Explorazone Digital is a full day of interactive experiments, games, demos and talks — register your place at Explorazone Digital now.
 
In these times of social distancing, IF Oxford has found ways to bring great ideas and activities to people during the pandemic, going beyond online activity. We co-produced a magazine in association with OX Magazine, which has been distributed to over 20,000 homes across Oxford — you can read it online or request a copy to be posted to you. We’ve also got a special Curiosity Box crammed with equipment and materials for experiments that bring Explorazone Digital into the physical world.
 
For the foodie, there’s gin, apple, chocolate and coffee tasting online (with recommended samples or choose your own) and there’s free dental kits (disclosing tablets and some dental hygiene tools) with Engineering a Great Smile.
 
Book your place at if-oxford.com or catch up with #IFOx2020 on twitter.com/oxford_if, instagram.com/oxford_if and facebook.com/Oxford.IF.
 
Join from home and connect with science and ideas this October.
