These are just a few of the questions young science communicators will try to answer at our first-ever junior science event, which aims to shed light on some of our most cherished Christmas traditions, rituals and icons.
Irresistibly witty, entertaining and educational, this event will explore Christmas from a unique and fascinating perspective: science.
Suitable for all ages, our Science of Christmas event guarantees to provide all the explanations you need on the physics behind our yuletide traditions without spoiling the magic of Christmas for a moment!
This event is a British Council initiative based on the book The Physics of Christmas by Roger Highfield. It has been developed by a team of young Greek scientists who will present the topics and answer your questions on the Science of Christmas.
The members of the team were all finalists in our FameLab 2007 competition. Details of FameLab 2008 will be announced soon!
For more science and information about the presenters see: www.openscience.gr.
The event will be held in Greek.
