British Science Festival Training Day and Think Corner

Heyy,  so I finally know what I'm going to be doing at the Science Festival.  I am going to be the AV assistant for various events, both during the day and at night.  I shall be helping the guests set up and sort out any technical problems (i.e. turning it off and on again).  Although I have some 12h days I should have enough time to see some other things the festival has to offer.  Of course I shall be reviewing all the events I am fortunate enough to see, both those I am working at and others I visit as a spectator.

Hopefully you'll enjoy my reviews, feel free to leave any comments or requests.

After my training day I went shopping with my housemate into Birmingham and finally got a chance to visit the Think Corner.  The Think corner is a pop up shop which is is partnership with The University of Birmingham and aims to engage with the public and entertain them.  There is a wide range of topics, from nuclear physics, to dentistry, to playing around in a childs' ball pit.

I was able to try out many different gadgets, such as the highly attractive equipment used to determine where my jaw was and how well I clean my teeth.
  

I managed to cause a flower to shatter by soaking it in liquid nitrogen and made a bottle of water turn to ice by just banging it on a table (popular in many youtube videos).Here us the link to the Think Corner website,  including what's on, opening times and directions.
