Scientists and engineers
are involved in the
design and production of
all the products we use
every day and the
buildings we live, work
and play in. At this
event we are going to
explore the smallest
room in the house – the
bathroom! We will
discover how the work of
scientists and engineers
are involved in
everything from the
makeup we use to the
toilet!
