There was a stall on the Market Place to let us all know that there is a science trail with 24 locations in Abingdon-on-Thames. At each location you can do an activity using a smart phone or tablet.
You can download the app from https://www.atomfestival.org.uk . It has a map. At each location on the map is a QR code the app can scan and launch one of the virtual activities.
At the Abingdon Millennium Needle, for example, the virtual activity involves watching a video from the Jenner Institute and then answering a couple of questions on Cells and vaccines.
The trail is available from 11th – 13th June 2021. Lots of different organizations have provided the virtual Science lessons, and donated prizes for the best answers.
The hash tag #ATOM2021 is being on social media to share pictures about the Science trail.
