🚀 Silly Science took off in Hillhouse 🚀

As part of Lanarkshire Climate Action Festival, young people joined us at Hillhouse Recreational and Growing Area on Saturday for an afternoon of rocket building and launching!

Using nothing more than air and water pressure, the young scientists sent their rockets soaring while enjoying a gentle introduction to climate action and some of the science behind alternative methods of fuel and propulsion.
