Take part in flights of solar sculptures that become buoyant and lift off the ground powered only by the heat of the sun. Use them to take measurements of weather variables and pollutants in the atmosphere’s boundary layer. Learn more about atmospheric winds that make sustainable flight possible through an interactive display. Bring a picnic lunch!

Free and open to the public; no registration required. Performance is weather permitting

Presented in conjunction with the Climate Changed Symposium and Cambridge Science Festival.
