What does it take to become an astronaut? How do you float in zero gravity? And seriously… what does astronaut food taste like? Now’s your chance to find out straight from someone who’s getting ready to blast off!

Join us for “Ask an Astronaut” – a fun, interactive presentation, where you can meet Canadian Astronaut Dr Shawna Pandya, who’s preparing for her very first spaceflight. Not only that, but she’s also a Doctor, Aquanaut and Explorer – she’s turned her love of science into a ticket to the stars! Get ready for behind-the-scenes stories, cool space facts and a chance to ask your own out-of-this-world questions in this live presentation.

When: Saturday 27th September 

Where: Scitech, Rio Tinto Innovation Central

Sessions

• Morning presentation – 10am
• Afternoon presentation – 2pm

Please note, your ticket provides entry into Scitech, where two complimentary presentations by Shawna will occur during the day, alongside a number of other activities.
