Fun and games to discover the world of science from up-close: at the Post (Science and Technology Workshop) of Perugia, "L'officina dei piccoli scienziati" (The Young Scientists' Workshop) is back, with many events for the little ones.

Here is the programme for upcoming events:

Vento in Poppa – Fair winds

How can we work out what direction the wind is blowing? With colours, paper, string and a lot of imagination we'll be making a windsock that can you use even on the windiest days!

From 16.

30 to 17.30

Sunday 10th April

Il Ritorno dei Dinosauri - The return of the dinosaurs

Dinosaurs are back at Post, by popular demand! Like expert palaeontologists, let's follow in the footsteps of the dinosaurs, studying the secret trails of these "terrible lizards" who disappeared 65 million years ago.

Cost:  €5

From 16.30 to 17.30

Sunday 17th April

Zoologi alla riscossa –Zoologists at work

What is a "spirotromba"? How can animals communicate with one another? We'll discover this and more, building colourful feeders to help us observe their behaviour.
